• Interpret engineering drawings, specifications, tolerances, and GD&T requirements to establish component conformity.
• Conduct accurate first-off, in-process, and final inspections as required.
• Use a variety of conventional and advanced metrology equipment to verify component dimensions and quality.
• Ensure inspection activities are completed accurately and within required production timescales.
• Produce clear and accurate inspection reports and maintain up-to-date inspection and quality documentation.
• Identify dimensional deviations and non-conformances and communicate findings to Engineering, Manufacturing, and Production teams.
• Support investigations into dimensional and manufacturing issues, helping to identify root causes and appropriate corrective actions.
• Work closely with engineering and production teams to resolve inspection issues and improve manufacturing processes.
• Contribute to continuous improvement activities within the inspection and metrology function.
• Maintain a high level of accuracy, consistency, and attention to detail in all inspection activities.
• Proven hands‑on experience as a Metrology Inspector, Dimensional Inspector, or similar role within a manufacturing or precision engineering environment.
• Practical experience using Romer Arms for probing and scanning is essential.
• Practical experience using PolyWorks for inspection and dimensional analysis is essential.
• Strong understanding of dimensional metrology and inspection techniques.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, and GD&T.
• Experience using a range of precision measurement and inspection equipment.
