Instrumentation Technician

An Instrumentation Technician ensures automated equipment is working safely and effectively. You’ll install and calibrate equipment and conduct necessary testing and inspections. Instrumentation Technicians carry out repairs or modifications and also conduct general servicing and maintenance.

Instrumentation Technicians should be able to work as part of a larger team but also work independently when required. You’ll need to be flexible and may have to work irregular hours including weekends and public holidays. Instrumentation Technicians need excellent attention to detail and should be good problem solvers. You’ll need to be organised and be good at managing your time.
