Quality Inspector

Location: Broughty Ferry

Quality Inspector | Dundee | Permanent | Circa £30,000 This is a permanent Quality Inspector role with a manufacturing business near Dundee, inspecting assemblies as they move through production. The work goes well beyond visual checking. You will be carrying out dimensional and electrical inspections on sub-assemblies and finished units, working from engineering drawings, schematics, wire cards and parts lists, and deciding whether a build passes or goes back.

It suits an inspector who is confident with measuring equipment, comfortable reading technical documentation, and willing to hold the line on quality when production is under pressure to ship. The business manufactures for customers worldwide, so the products vary and so does the inspection work. You will sit inside an established quality function rather than working alone, and there is real scope to progress within the Quality department over time, if that is the direction you want.

What you will be doing:
Inspecting products and assemblies at each stage of production Carrying out dimensional checks using measuring equipment and gauges Completing electrical inspection and test on assemblies and finished units Working from engineering drawings, schematics, wire cards and parts lists Approving or rejecting builds against agreed quality standards Recording faults, raising them and supporting corrective action Working with production and engineering teams on continuous improvement Most of the day is spent on the floor rather than at a desk, so you will be in regular contact with the people building the product.

What you will need:

Experience in quality inspection or quality assurance within manufacturing Confidence reading engineering drawings and technical documentation Practical experience using measuring equipment for dimensional inspection A working knowledge of electrical inspection and test methods The ability to work on your own initiative and as part of a production team Clear communication, particularly when raising a quality concern You do not need to tick every line above.

If you have inspected in a manufacturing environment and you can back your decisions up, the rest can be picked up.
