What calibration and metrology technician work involves
01What the work is
Every measurement on the shop floor is only as good as the instrument that made it. Calibration compares an instrument with a more accurate reference standard, such as gauge blocks, setting rings, a dial calibrator, a pressure comparator or a torque calibrator, whose own calibration traces back to national standards. The technician records the errors at several points across the range, works out whether the instrument is within its permitted error, and issues a calibration record and a label with the next due date. Plants keep a recall list so nothing is used past its due date, and labs that issue certificates to others are usually accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
02A shift, start to finish
A calibration shift starts with the due list: which instruments are due, where they are, and which are overdue. Instruments are collected, cleaned and left to stabilise in the lab’s controlled temperature. You calibrate each one to its procedure, for example checking a micrometer at several points with gauge blocks and its anvil flatness with an optical flat, or a pressure gauge on a comparator at rising and falling pressures, and record every reading. Instruments that pass get a label and go back; those that fail are quarantined, and quality is told so it can check what they were used for. Records and the recall list are updated before you leave.
03Your skill in SuperGig Partner
#1307 starts at L1 when you add it in My Skills. Plants can list #1307 on a shift with a minimum level, perhaps asking for more for pressure, torque and electrical calibration. SuperGig raises your level only from your record, approved #1307 shifts, verified on-time arrivals and plant ratings, and the app makes no promise of titles or pay; every shift shows its pay before you book.

How your level rises
#1307 Calibration / Metrology Technician starts at L1 when you add it in My Skills. Each skill climbs from L1 to L5. Only SuperGig sets a level, from your record, never the app. Three things move it up:
- Approved shifts in the skillShifts a plant approved that listed this skill when it was posted.
- Arriving on timeAn arrival SuperGig verified, such as the WorkPass check at the gate.
- How plants rate your workIt counts once a plant has rated you. Before that it never holds you back.
The app shows what your next level needs.
The skill check on a shift
A plant can list skills on a shift with one minimum level for all of them, from L1 to L5. You need every listed skill at that level, and SuperGig checks yours before the booking is accepted.
A shift with no skills listed has no skill check: any KYC-verified Partner can book it.
