This is technical work in the certification of official and commercial measurement standards. Position performs tests that determine mass, volume, and linear measurements by utilizing precision electronic balances, containers of known volume, and standards of known length traceable to national standards. Position alters test weights to bring them into conformance with allowable tolerances and makes minor adjustments to meters or scales as necessary to bring them into conformance. Position may conduct performance tests on meters and scales to determine accuracy. Unlike the Metrologist I, the Metrologist II serves as a lead worker.
