As a Calibration Apprentice, you will work within the Facilities Department, responsible for all site services across the Dowty Facilities. Calibration is the discipline that keeps every measurement — pressure, temperature, torque, dimension — accurate and traceable, giving us confidence that our instruments and controls are telling the truth. In an aerospace environment, that accuracy isn't optional: it's what stands between a component and catastrophic failure, so precision here has a direct line to flight safety. The team's focus is 24/7 support of the facility, production areas, and production operations staff, ensuring Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost (SQDC) across our people and products. The Department delivers effective planned calibration across all facilities and production equipment — from hands-on instrument and control systems to complex test rigs — performed both in-house and alongside external partners. As part of a small team operating in a fast-paced, highly regulated aerospace environment, you'll develop real technical expertise early, and you'll need to be self-motivated with the confidence to work autonomously.
