Metrology Technician
Location: Abingdon, Oxford – On-site
Salary: Competitive
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Monday–Friday
The Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Metrology Technician to join a growing advanced manufacturing business developing high-performance metal components using cutting-edge manufacturing technologies.
Based on-site in Abingdon, you will support the inspection and measurement of complex components throughout the manufacturing process. Working closely with Metrology, Quality and Operations, you'll help ensure components are measured accurately, efficiently, and in line with quality and traceability requirements.
This is a hands-on role where attention to detail, consistency, and the ability to follow defined processes are essential. Extensive metrology experience isn't essential, with training available for someone who has the right technical aptitude and willingness to learn.
Key Responsibilities
- Operate automated and semi-automated metrology and testing equipment, running established measurement programmes and inspection routines.
- Support structured light scanning and tensile testing, with potential exposure to CMM, XCT, and optical measurement equipment.
- Follow inspection plans, measurement procedures, and work instructions to ensure accurate and repeatable results.
- Load components, fixtures, and test setups safely and correctly for inspection.
- Record and upload inspection results, checking outputs for errors and repeating measurements where required.
- Maintain accurate digital records to support component traceability and raise non-conformances promptly.
- Work to daily and weekly priorities, communicating progress, delays, and issues effectively.
- Support routine equipment checks, housekeeping, and calibration-related activities.
- Work in accordance with quality management systems, health and safety requirements, and good metrology practice.
- Remain flexible to changing production, inspection, and project priorities.
