About The Position

JM Test Systems is looking for a Field Calibration Technician for a 100% mobile, onsite role servicing South Central, Southern, and Gulf Coast Texas region. You'll travel to customer sites across the region to calibrate, repair, and certify test instruments, applying measurement science principles to ensure accuracy in electrical, dimensional, physical, mechanical, and/or optical disciplines. This is a road-centric position: you'll be on-site with customers the vast majority of the year, working independently with support from onsite managers and administrative staff. If you're comfortable with a heavy travel schedule and want to build a specialized career in metrology, this is a great fit. Travel is the core of this job: the goal is 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year (minus PTO and holidays). Overnight stays are required. This schedule is not occasional; it's the standing expectation of the role, so genuine flexibility to travel extensively is a must. Initial training at the Wichita/Clute Lab and onboarding will prepare you for onsite work, then you'll work closely with onsite managers and administrative staff for day-to-day direction and scheduling (estimated 6 weeks of training).
