We are seeking a detail-oriented Quality Inspector for a premier metal fabrication client.

You will perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections, using precision tools to verify that all components match strict engineering blueprints and industry standards (ISO 9001/AS9100).

  • Precision Measurement: Utilize precision tools including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and tape measures to verify part accuracy.
  • Defect Detection: Perform thorough visual checks to identify surface and structural defects (e.g., cracks, pits, incomplete welds, incorrect finishes).
  • Documentation & QMS: Accurately log inspection data, complete quality reports, and input findings into the Quality Management System (QMS) database.
  • Material Control: Promptly identify, document, and quarantine non-conforming materials to prevent them from moving down the production line.
  • First Article Inspections: Assist with First Article Inspections (FAIs) and specialized testing procedures as required.
  • Compliance: Monitor and enforce company safety policies, quality control procedures, and regulatory standards (ISO 9001 / AS9100).
