• Schedules, tracks, and coordinates calibration activities for inhouse and third party (external) calibration services, ensuring calibrations are performed on time. 
• Ensure third party calibration service providers are qualified to perform the calibration per OEM or industry standards. 
• Reviews calibration certificates for completeness, accuracy, and compliance (e.g., traceability, as found/as left data, ranges, tolerances, environmental conditions). 
• Uploads and maintains calibration certificates, records, and documentation in the Digital QMS, ensuring they are correctly linked to each device in the register. 
• Ensures all calibrated devices are properly labeled/stickered with calibration status, due date, and unique identification. 
• Monitors upcoming calibration due dates and proactively communicates with stakeholders (Quality, Operations, Maintenance, Field Leadership) to minimize downtime and avoid use of out of calibration equipment. 
• Initiates and documents nonconformance records within the QMS if devices are found out of tolerance, used beyond their calibration date, or otherwise non compliant. 
• Assists in root cause investigations related to measurement or instrumentation issues that may impact product/service quality or safety. 
• Works closely with field and maintenance personnel to ensure appropriate storage, handling, and use of calibrated equipment to maintain accuracy and prevent damage. 
• Performs visual checks and basic functional checks on measuring and test equipment before and after calibration as applicable. 
• May perform in house verification or basic calibration tasks, as qualified and authorized, using approved standards and procedures. 
• Generates and distributes periodic calibration reports and metrics (e.g., on time calibration rate, overdue items, out of tolerance findings) to the QMS Manager and Quality leadership. 
• Supports audits (internal, customer, and third party) by providing calibration records, demonstrating QMS functionality, and explaining calibration control processes. 
• Recommends improvements to calibration processes, intervals, and device selection to enhance reliability and reduce nonconformances.
