Quality Inspector

We’re looking for a Quality Inspector to join our manufacturing team and play a key role in ensuring that high-quality machined components meet exact engineering and customer requirements.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll work closely with our production and engineering teams, using a range of precision measurement equipment and CMM to inspect components.

Key Responsibilities

As a Quality Inspector, you will:

• Carry out detailed inspections of precision-machined components to ensure they meet engineering drawings, specifications and customer requirements.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, tolerances and GD&T requirements.
• Use a range of precision inspection equipment, including micrometers, verniers, height gauges, bore gauges, ring gauges and other measuring instruments.
• Program and operate CMM equipment to accurately inspect component features and produce inspection reports.
• Analyse measurement results and make informed decisions on product conformity and quality.
• Identify, segregate and report non-conforming products, ensuring issues are controlled and clearly communicated.
• Raise Non-Conformance Reports where required and support investigations into quality issues.
• Check that all measuring and inspection equipment is within calibration before use.
• Maintain accurate inspection records and documentation to support traceability, quality standards and audits.
