Quality Control Inspector

Description

The Quality Control Inspector helps ensure that products meet company, customer, and industry quality standards throughout the manufacturing process. This role performs inspection and quality‑control activities across production, documents results, and works with production teams to identify and resolve quality issues. This is a mid‑level, hands‑on quality position: the technician works with a good degree of independence and is expected to handle routine and moderately complex inspection tasks without close supervision, but the role does not carry lead, supervisory, or quality‑engineering responsibilities.

The Quality Control Inspector supports the broader quality system and contributes to a culture of continuous improvement.

• Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspection of parts and assemblies against drawings, work orders, and customer specifications.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and moderately complex GD&T callouts.
• Use precision measurement tools—calipers, micrometers, height gauges, dial indicators, and similar equipment—to verify dimensional accuracy.
• Complete first article and other inspection documentation for new or revised parts under the guidance of the Quality Manager.
• Document inspection results, maintain accurate quality records, and complete nonconformance reports for discrepant material.
• Identify, tag, and segregate nonconforming material; support root‑cause and corrective‑action discussions.
• Maintain and help calibrate inspection gauges and measurement equipment; keep calibration records current.
• Verify material certifications, traceability, and process paperwork accompany parts as required by the customer or contract.
• Support internal audits and customer inspections; help maintain quality‑system documentation.
• Communicate quality issues clearly to production teams to help prevent recurrence.
• Assist in training entry‑level inspectors on basic inspection methods and documentation, as directed.
• Follow all safety, PPE, and housekeeping requirements in a manufacturing environment.

• High school diploma or GED required; technical or trade certification in quality, machining, or metrology is a plus.
• 3–6 years of quality inspection experience in a manufacturing environment; this is not an entry‑level position.
• Experience with ISO 9001 or similar quality management systems.
• Demonstrated ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
• Working knowledge of precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges, and similar equipment).

• Strong attention to detail and a consistent commitment to accuracy.
• Ability to work independently with general supervision, while knowing when to elevate an issue.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills for documenting findings and coordinating with production teams.
• Sound, practical judgment when identifying and handling nonconforming material.
• Comfortable working in a shop/manufacturing environment alongside production equipment.
• Collaborative, team‑oriented approach to supporting continuous improvement.
