This role performs in-process inspections at defined critical points in the production workflow, conducts incoming material inspections, documents and initiates nonconformances, and performs final QC inspection before product ships to customers or transfers to Assembly (Fabrication Inspector only). The QC Inspector reports to the QC Manager and works in coordination with the Quality Engineer to ensure defects are identified and contained as early as possible in the production process. Essential Duties And Responsibilities In-Process Inspection — Primary Facility Perform in-process quality checks at defined critical points in the production workflow at the primary assigned facility. Verify dimensional, visual, and workmanship requirements against drawings, specifications, and work instructions. Identify, document, and segregate nonconforming product. Apply hold tags, initiate NCRs, and notify the QC Manager or Quality Engineer of nonconformances. Record inspection results and maintain inspection documentation.
