The knowledge base and continual flow of information from a field measurement technician to the measurement analyst located in the corporate office is extremely demanding.

Every field technician is tested in both knowledge and skills on a daily basis regarding:

  •   Electronic controls to pneumatic controls
  •   Communication system support
  •   Multiple technical disciplines
  •   Support of measurement equipment – Primary Device, Secondary Device, and Tertiary Device
  •   Support of verification equipment
  •   Adhering to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
  •   Regulatory requirements governing the facilities
  •   Ongoing training

    These factors and many more create a tremendous and constant challenge for every organization.
