Full job description

Field Service Engineer (Calibration / Metrology) – Bridport, UK

Location: Bridport, United Kingdom (On-site + Travel)
Start Date: Immediate
Eligibility: Must have the right to work in the United Kingdom

About Scientific Safety Alliance (SSA)

At SSA, we're on a mission to Accelerate Science. Delightfully.

We provide testing, inspection, calibration, and compliance services to pharmaceutical, medical device, and research organizations. Our work ensures that critical environments, equipment, and processes meet the highest standards—so scientists can focus on innovation and patient outcomes without interruption.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for hands-on, driven individuals to join our team and build expertise in a highly specialized, high-demand field.

The Role

We are hiring a Field Service Engineer to support growing customer demand at our Bridport, UK location.

This is a hands-on, field-based role focused on calibration and metrology work at customer sites. You will work closely with experienced engineers to learn the trade and gradually build toward full independence.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with their hands, solving technical problems, and being out in the field rather than behind a desk.

What You'll Do

Perform calibration, testing, and servicing of equipment at customer sites
Travel to client locations and support on-site service work
Assist experienced engineers during the onboarding period
Learn and apply technical procedures, standards, and best practices
Complete service documentation and reports accurately and thoroughly
Communicate professionally with customers and technical teams
Ensure all work meets quality and compliance standards
Contribute to a strong team environment while developing technical expertise

Training & Development

This is a learn-on-the-job role with a structured ramp-up:

0–3 months: Shadow experienced engineers and assist with basic tasks
3–6 months: Begin handling simpler calibrations independently
9–12 months: Fully trained and operating independently

What We're Looking For

Strong hands-on technical aptitude (mechanical, electrical, or similar)
Willingness to travel and work in the field regularly
Ability to learn and apply technical concepts over time
Strong work ethic, reliability, and follow-through
Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
Good communication skills and professionalism with customers
Detail-oriented with the ability to complete accurate documentation
Positive attitude and willingness to get hands dirty and learn

Preferred Backgrounds

We welcome candidates from a variety of hands-on technical backgrounds, including:

Mechanical or electrical technicians
Field service or equipment repair roles
Manufacturing or production environments
Military technical experience
Early-career engineers seeking hands-on experience

Formal calibration experience is not required—we will train the right person.

Why Join SSA

Build a career in a specialized, high-demand technical field
Gain hands-on experience with real-world equipment and systems
Clear path to independence and long-term growth
Work alongside experienced engineers and mentors
Be part of a mission-driven company improving how science operates

Our Mission

SSA is building the leading integrated safety partner for health and science organizations—ensuring science runs without interruption.

Innovation is often slowed not by science, but by operational gaps—missing reports, non-compliant equipment, and inefficient processes.

We exist to solve that.

Accelerate Science. Delightfully.
