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.
