What your day-to-day will look like:

• Develop and maintain comprehensive calibration schedules for all instrumentation systems including flow meters, pressure gauges, temperature sensors, analytical equipment, and process controls, prioritize work orders based on regulatory deadlines, equipment criticality, and production schedules, attend and assist scheduling for site shutdowns, and track calibration due dates to ensure FDA, GMP, and regulatory compliance without lapses.
• Generate compliance reports and alert stakeholders of upcoming or overdue calibrations, assign appropriate technicians to workload based on skills, certifications, and workload capacity, actively kit materials and calibration standards for scheduled workload, and assist with scheduling vendor services for external certifications and off-site calibration requirements.
• Interface with production operations to schedule work during planned downtime, collaborate with quality assurance, facility management, and department leads to coordinate facility access and prioritize critical instruments, and review calibration history data from CMMS systems to identify performance trends, failure patterns, and opportunities for schedule optimization.
• Maintain accurate records of scheduled, completed, and postponed calibration activities in CMMS systems, ensure proper documentation of schedule changes and rationale for delays or rescheduling decisions, and track all work order statuses to support compliance audits and regulatory inspections.
• Generate reports on schedule performance, compliance status, backlog levels, and resource utilization, track and report key performance indicators for program effectiveness including on-time completion rates, compliance percentages, technician productivity metrics, and calibration backlog trends to support data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement.
• Resolve scheduling conflicts and resource constraints using strong analytical and problem-solving skills, adapt to changing priorities and manage schedule disruptions effectively, communicate proactively with technical and non-technical stakeholders across departments, and build collaborative relationships that support seamless coordination of calibration activities while minimizing production impact and maintaining regulatory compliance.
  
  

Required Qualifications:

• Associate degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, Engineering Technology, or related field, or equivalent experience with minimum three years of planning/scheduling experience in regulated manufacturing, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or facilities management environments demonstrating understanding of regulatory compliance requirements and technical maintenance operations.
• Direct experience with instrumentation, calibration programs, or technical maintenance operations is strongly preferred with understanding of instrumentation types, calibration standards, and regulatory compliance requirements including FDA and GMP regulations that govern pharmaceutical manufacturing and equipment validation.
• Advanced proficiency with CMMS systems including work order generation, scheduling modules, resource allocation, and reporting capabilities, with strong Excel skills for data analysis, schedule development, and tracking of calibration activities, due dates, and compliance metrics.
• Demonstrated ability to develop complex multi-resource schedules balancing competing priorities including regulatory deadlines, production schedules, technician certifications, equipment criticality, and facility access constraints while maintaining high attention to detail and organizational rigor.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to coordinate across technical and non-technical stakeholders including technicians, quality assurance teams, production operations, facility management, and department leads, with strong customer service orientation and ability to build collaborative relationships that support effective scheduling and compliance program success.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with building management systems including Siemens, DeltaV, Honeywell, and Allen Bradley, and understanding of preventive maintenance principles, control system architectures, and how instrumentation integrates with process control platforms in pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
• Ability to read technical documentation including calibration procedures, instrument specifications, P&IDs, equipment manuals, and maintenance protocols to understand scope of work, resource requirements, and technical dependencies when developing schedules.
• Experience using advanced CMMS reporting and analytics features to generate performance dashboards, trend analysis, backlog reports, compliance tracking, and resource utilization metrics that support management decision-making and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Proven track record of managing scheduling for site shutdowns, turnarounds, or planned outages requiring coordination of multiple work streams, vendor activities, and compressed timelines while maintaining quality and compliance standards.
• Self-motivated and reliable with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, flexibility to adapt to changing priorities and emergencies, and demonstrated ability to manage schedule disruptions effectively while maintaining professional composure and customer service orientation under pressure.
