Precision is invisible. It is the pressure gauge that reads exactly right, the temperature sensor that never drifts, and the flow meter that measures without error. When calibration is done well, no one notices. When it is done poorly, everything falls apart. Links UAE, a well-established recruitment and HR outsourcing firm with over two decades of experience in the region, is hiring a Calibration Department In-Charge on behalf of a client in Abu Dhabi. This is a role for a technical leader who understands that behind every reliable instrument is a department that never stops paying attention to the details.

This is a role for someone who is ready to take ownership of a calibration function. You will manage and oversee the daily operations of the Calibration Department, supervising activities for a wide range of measuring instruments and equipment. You will ensure that calibration procedures comply with applicable standards and quality requirements, maintain calibration records, certificates, reports, and equipment documentation, and coordinate with clients regarding requirements, schedules, and technical queries. You will also monitor calibration schedules, ensure timely completion of assignments, and lead a team of calibration technicians to maintain both quality and operational efficiency. If you have a strong technical background in instrumentation and the leadership skills to run a department, this role will suit you.

The ideal candidate holds a Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, or a related technical field. You have relevant experience in calibration, preferably in a supervisory or department in-charge role, with strong knowledge of calibration procedures, measuring instruments, and quality standards. You have experience managing calibration documentation and technical reports. You are a strong leader with excellent communication and organisational skills. Candidates currently based in the UAE are preferred.

This is a full-time, on-site position based in Abu Dhabi. The salary range is AED 6,000 to AED 7,500 per month, plus accommodation and transportation.

Salary:
AED 6,000 – 7,500 per month + Accommodation & Transportation

When you apply, take a moment to make your application stand out. Highlight your experience supervising a calibration department or a team of technicians specifically, including the types of instruments you have managed and the quality standards you have worked with, because this is a leadership role and the hiring team will look for evidence that you can run the function independently. In your cover letter, describe a time you improved a calibration process or resolved a technical issue that was affecting quality or turnaround time, showing that you are proactive and can solve problems on the ground. If you have hands-on experience with ISO/IEC 17025 standards or similar quality frameworks, state that clearly, as it demonstrates your understanding of the compliance side of calibration. If you are familiar with specific measuring instruments, such as pressure gauges, temperature sensors, or flow meters, mention that explicitly. Finally, confirm your UAE experience and your availability to join, as these are key preferences for the position. If you are currently based in Abu Dhabi and available for an interview, say so, because that will help move your application forward more quickly. Make sure your CV clearly states the job title in the subject line of your email, as the agency receives a high volume of applications and this will help your profile get routed to the right team.
Feel free to share this opportunity with anyone in your network who might be a strong fit.
