Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced Calibration & Technical Lead to play a critical role in setting up and running the UK Calibration Lab for Tektronix products. This role offers significant ownership and visibility and is ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, variety, and building operations from the ground up.
This is a permanent role based in the UK, responsible for overseeing calibration activities, maintaining the highest standards of technical quality, and ensuring efficient and reliable lab operations as the business continues to expand.
During the initial phase, certain system-related activities and job creation may be supported by the Service teams in India and Germany, considering the expected lower starting volumes. As business inflow increases and the lab scales, additional local resources will be added to strengthen operational capacity and support future growth.
This role provides strong visibility across global service teams and offers the opportunity to work closely with cross-regional technical experts while shaping the future growth of the UK calibration capability.
