Dimensional Inspector Trainee – Entry Level (3–4 Openings)

Level 1 Fasteners | Huntington, WV | Onsite | Full-Time | [Pay: $17/hr]

About Us

Since 1959, Level 1 Fasteners has manufactured precision fasteners for the defense and aerospace industries. In 1993, the company moved from Compton, California, to Huntington, West Virginia, and we've been proud to call the Tri-State home ever since. As a family-owned small business, we combine more than six decades of experience with modern quality standards: we're ISO 9001 and CMMC certified, and the parts we make support U.S. military programs. When our fasteners leave the building, they must be right, and our people are the reason they are. We're growing our Quality team and looking for people who want to learn a skilled trade and build a long-term career with us.

About the Job

Dimensional inspectors check the size and shape of the fasteners we make to be sure they match our customers' requirements exactly. No inspection experience is needed. We'll teach you how to use the tools and read the paperwork. What we can't teach is strong math skills and a sharp eye for detail, so those are a must.

• Read drawings, purchase orders, job routers, and military specifications
• Calculate tolerances and decide whether parts pass or fail
• Perform first-article and in-process inspections on the shop floor
• Tag and set aside parts that don't meet requirements, following our nonconforming material procedures
• Record inspection results accurately on the computer and on paper

What You Need

• High school diploma or GED
• Strong math skills, including fractions, decimals, and basic geometry
• Comfort with measuring: rulers, tape measures, or precision tools from school, a trade, or a hobby
• Excellent attention to detail, with patience to measure carefully and consistently
• Basic computer skills, including Microsoft Office
• Reliable attendance
• Positive attitude and willingness to learn
• Must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident due to ITAR requirements
