Job Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity for an engineer with management
aspirations to join an established company developing world-class
electronic instrumentation for precision temperature measurement
and metrology. This is a “fast track” opportunity
to become the managerial lead for the business within a
few years. The successful candidate will have a technology
background (ideally in electronics), be very numerate and
with experience of or a desire to develop management and
leadership skills.
The job involves running the companies test and calibration
laboratory (1 engineer presently) and managing the business
(6 staff in all). Responsibilities include HR, health and
safety (both supported by our contract with Citation), developing
and tracking budgets (with the managing director) and providing
daily management and business leadership. The business founder
and managing director wishes to retire and would like to
hand over responsibility for the business to the successful
candidate following a handover period.
The Company
Metrosol was founded in 2004 and is now recognised as
the supplier of the most accurate instrumentation for temperature
metrology and precision measurement with instruments capable
of measuring down to 30 ppb (0.000003%), equivalent to ±7.5
µK. Metrosol’s achievements were recognised
in 2017 when it received a Queen’s award for Enterprise
in the Innovation category. In 2019, its work on the development
of the world’s first practical Johnson noise thermometer
was recognised when the current technical lead (Paul Bramley)
received the Callendar medal from the Institute of Measurement
and Control.
The company is a micro business with only 6 staff currently
on the payroll. However, it collaborates closely with subcontractors
and other organisations such as the National Physical Laboratory,
so that its influence and reach is extensive. Metrosol works
closely with Isothermal Technology Limited (50+ staff in
UK), the leading manufacturer of temperature metrology equipment,
which is Metrosol’s exclusive route to market.
