• Read and interpret metric rulers to obtain accurate measurements in metric units.
• Calculate and verify tolerances to determine whether measured parts fall within acceptable limits.
• Record and maintain inspection results in the documentation system in a clear, accurate, and timely manner.
• Identify nonconforming parts and communicate quality issues promptly to production personnel.
• Collaborate with production staff on the manufacturing floor to resolve quality concerns and support corrective actions.
• Follow established quality procedures and inspection standards to ensure consistency and reliability of measurements.

• Proficiency in using calipers and gauges for precision measurement.
• Ability to read and interpret a metric ruler accurately.
• Ability to calculate and assess tolerances based on specifications.
• Familiarity with using a documentation system to record inspection data.
• Strong communication skills to effectively discuss quality issues with production personnel.
• Attention to detail and accuracy in measurements and documentation.
• Ability to work on the manufacturing floor and perform inspections throughout production runs.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Comfort working closely with production teams in a fast-paced environment.
• Organizational skills to manage multiple inspections and maintain clear records.
• Problem-solving mindset to help identify and support resolution of quality issues.

Why Work Here?

You will join a production-focused environment where quality is a core value and your attention to detail directly supports the reliability of finished products. The role offers the opportunity to work closely with a collaborative production team, build strong practical experience with precision measuring tools, and develop your skills in quality inspection and documentation. You will contribute to a culture that values clear communication, continuous improvement, and pride in delivering consistent, high-quality output.

Work Environment

This position is based primarily on the manufacturing floor, where you will perform inspections at or near production equipment and workstations. The work involves frequent use of precision measuring tools such as calipers, gauges, and metric rulers, as well as regular use of a documentation system to record inspection data.
