  • Use standard measuring equipment (calipers, gauges, rules, etc.)
  • Inspect welded fabrications, powder coated components, joinery, acrylics, and assemblies
  • Identify defects and non-conformances
  • Complete inspection records and raise NCRs
  • Support containment, root cause analysis, and corrective actions
  • Assist with supplier and warehouse inspections
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives
  • Ensure compliance with quality systems and Health & Safety requirements

About You

  • Experience in a manufacturing quality inspection role
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
  • Confident using standard inspection tools
  • Strong attention to detail and methodical approach
  • Good communication and IT skills
  • Experience in fabrication, joinery, or assembly environments (desirable)
  • Knowledge of ISO 9001 and corrective actions (desirable)
