About the role
Join a quality-focused production team as a Quality Control Inspector, helping ensure raw materials, in-process products, and finished outputs meet required specifications. You will use technical documentation, precision measuring equipment, and quality procedures to identify defects, support compliance, and help improve manufacturing performance.
Key responsibilities
- Inspect raw materials upon delivery to confirm they meet specifications, and quarantine, reject, or return unacceptable items in line with established procedures.
- Perform continuous inspections during assembly and manufacturing processes.
- Use blueprints, engineering designs, manuals, and standardised tolerances to verify product dimensions, functionality, and workmanship.
- Operate testing apparatus, gauges, calipers, micrometers, coordinate measuring machines, and other precision measuring tools.
- Conduct stress, pressure, functional, and other required product tests.
- Record inspection results accurately and maintain daily quality metrics.
- Prepare detailed reports on defects, inspection findings, and defect rates.
- Ensure inspection and production activities comply with company policies, ISO standards, and applicable regulatory requirements.
- Collaborate with production supervisors and engineering teams to identify root causes of recurring defects.
- Support the implementation and monitoring of corrective and preventive actions.
- Communicate quality or safety concerns promptly and provide clear instructions to relevant production staff.
What we're looking for
- High school diploma required; an associate degree, vocational certification, or bachelor's degree in Quality Assurance, Engineering, or a related technical field is preferred.
- One to three or more years of experience in quality control, inspection, manufacturing, or a production-focused environment.
- Knowledge of quality management systems, including ISO 9001, is highly valued.
- Ability to read and interpret complex blueprints, technical manuals, engineering drawings, and schematics.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to identify defect patterns and investigate potential causes.
- High visual attention to detail and the ability to detect small deviations in products.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills for working effectively with production and engineering teams.
- Ability to stand for extended shifts, perform repetitive tasks, and lift or move heavy materials when required.
- Commitment to accuracy, safety, documentation, and continuous improvement.
