The Mid-Level Calibration and Testing Supervisor is responsible for overseeing the calibration, inspection, and testing of all field instrumentation and measurement devices. The role ensures accuracy, traceability, and compliance with standards. The supervisor coordinates daily activities, leads a team of calibration technicians, and ensures proper documentation and adherence to regulatory or client specifications.
Supervise calibration activities for pressure, temperature, level, flow, analytical, and control instruments.
Ensure instruments are calibrated within scheduled intervals and in compliance with international standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 17025).
Maintain a master calibration schedule and track equipment due for calibration.
Oversee functional testing of safety systems, transmitters, control valves, sensors, switches, and recorders.
Ensure proper use of test equipment and procedures during pre-commissioning, commissioning, and maintenance phases.
Verify calibration accuracy against manufacturer and industry tolerances.
Assign work orders, supervise calibration technicians, and monitor performance.
Train personnel on proper calibration procedures, safety practices, and documentation standards.
Ensure tools and test equipment are properly maintained and certified.
Ensure all calibration activities follow QA/QC procedures and are traceable to national/international standards.
Participate in audits and inspections by clients or regulatory bodies.
Ensure compliance with site safety standards, including permit-to-work (PTW) and LOTO procedures.
Maintain accurate calibration records, certificates, and instrument history logs (manual or via CMMS).
Update instrument index and ensure all changes are reflected in drawings and documentation.
Support the preparation of calibration dossiers for handover or regulatory reporting.
Assist in instrumentation checks during commissioning/start-up phases.
Provide support for troubleshooting instrumentation issues post-installation.
Ensure critical instruments (e.g., those used in custody transfer, safety systems) are verified and operational.
Strong understanding of instrumentation principles and calibration methods.
Familiar with standards such as ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17025, API, or NIST traceability.
Proficiency with calibration tools (e.g., HART communicators, multifunction calibrators, deadweight testers).
Competence in interpreting P&IDs, loop diagrams, datasheets, and calibration certificates.
Strong organizational and documentation skills.
Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Instrumentation, Electrical, or Electronics Engineering.
5–8 years of experience in instrument calibration and testing, including 1–2 years in a supervisory role.
Experience in process industries like oil & gas, power plants, chemicals, or regulated industries like pharma.
Familiarity with CMMS or calibration management systems (e.g., Beamex, ProCal, Fluke MET/TEAM) is preferred.
Safety certifications (e.g., LOTO, confined space, H2S) are an added advantage for field roles.
