Calibration Technician I

About the Opportunity

Axe Recruiting is recruiting a Calibration Technician I on behalf of a confidential client in the Greater Montreal Area.

This role is designed for someone with a technical foundation who wants to build a long-term career in calibration, metrology, instrumentation, electronics, mechanical measurement, or technical service.

The successful candidate does not need to be a senior calibration expert, but they should be hands-on, detail-oriented, coachable, and comfortable working with tools, equipment, procedures, and documentation. This is a practical technical role where accuracy matters and where the right person can grow into more advanced calibration responsibilities over time.

Our client is looking for someone who takes pride in careful work, follows instructions properly, communicates professionally, and wants to develop in a specialized technical environment.

This role offers stable full-time employment, competitive hourly compensation, hands-on technical training, and a practical path into a specialized technical career.

The work requires focus, patience, accuracy, and respect for customer-owned equipment.
