AIP Level: 7

POSITION SUMMARY: The Calibration Technician is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the company’s calibration program within the Digital Quality Management System (QMS). This role owns the calibration register for quality critical instruments used in vertically integrated electric pressure pumping services, which includes gas conditioning equipment, aeroderivative turbines and reciprocating engines for generating power, and pressure pumping equipment (blender, pumps, etc.).

Working under the direction of the QMS Manager, the Calibration Technician ensures that all Testing, Measuring, Monitoring, and Detection Equipment (TMMDE) is identified, controlled, calibrated, labeled, and documented in accordance with company procedures, customer requirements, and applicable standards. This role is critical in ensuring measurement accuracy, reducing risk of equipment related nonconformances, and supporting safe, reliable field operations.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: (The following duties and responsibilities are all essential job functions, as defined by the ADA, except for those that begin with the word "may")

- Maintains the calibration register within the Digital QMS, ensuring all applicable devices are entered, current, and traceable.

- Identifies and registers new measurement and test equipment used in operations (e.g., pressure transducers, flowmeters, torque wrenches, electronic measuring devices such as cable meggers, AVRs, multimeters, temperature probes, and other gauges).

- 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.

- Assists with training or orientation of operations and maintenance personnel on calibration requirements and proper handling of measurement devices.

- Performs other duties as assigned to assist with successful operations and business continuity.
