Purpose of the role:
The purpose of this role is to provide technical ownership and accountability for the delivery, performance, governance, and continuous improvement of calibration across Ceres. It ensures that all calibratable and reference equipment within Test, Production, and Quality environments is effectively managed, maintained, and calibrated to deliver accurate, reliable data in support of technology development and industrialisation.
The role defines and maintains the calibration operating model, including the systems, processes, standards, and governance required for safe, efficient, scalable, and auditable delivery. This includes ownership of calibration standards, asset tracking, data and records, and the optimisation of in-house and external calibration strategies, supported by appropriate tools for scheduling, monitoring, data integrity, and understanding of measurement performance.
