• Proficiency with CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) inspection.
• Ability to perform precise measurements using micrometers, calipers, and height gauges.
• Strong visual inspection skills to identify defects and irregularities.
• Basic computer literacy to enter, track, and update inspection data.
• High attention to detail and accuracy in measurements and documentation.
• Familiarity with general inspection tools and hand tools used in manufacturing.
• Understanding of quality inspection practices in an industrial setting.

• Experience using gauges and other precision measuring instruments.
• Exposure to quality inspection processes in heavy industrial environments.

• Crane operation experience is a plus.
• Comfort working with hand power tools during inspection tasks.
• Ability to follow written procedures, work instructions, and safety guidelines.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple parts and tasks in sequence.

You will work in a setting that values precision, safety, and consistent quality, allowing you to apply and grow your mechanical inspection skills. The role offers the opportunity to work with industrial-grade equipment and inspection tools while contributing directly to the reliability of finished products. You will be part of a team-oriented environment where clear communication, reliability, and attention to detail are recognized and appreciated.
