• Produce detailed, client-ready service and calibration reports documenting instrument identification, faults observed, corrective measures, calibration results, measurement uncertainties, and post-service recommendations suitable for quality assurance and regulatory audit review.
• Serve as the primary technical contact during client site visits, provide operator training on instrument usage and basic troubleshooting, and identify opportunities for calibration contracts, spare parts, and equipment upgrades.
• Respond to emergency field callouts within agreed SLA timeframes; adhere to site-specific health, safety, and environment requirements including confined space protocols, ATEX/IECEx equipment selection, GMP/GHP compliance, and permit-to-work documentation.

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on field service experience with analytical, process, or laboratory instrumentation in industrial or laboratory settings, with demonstrable experience servicing at least two instrument categories (dissolved gas analysers, turbidity/photometry meters, pH/conductivity transmitters, laboratory balances, or NIR/grain analysers).
• Competency reading and interpreting electrical schematics, pneumatic diagrams, and technical data sheets; proficiency with diagnostic instruments including digital multimeters, clamp meters, pressure calibrators, HART communicators, and oscilloscopes.
