$26-$28 Per Hour BOE

Monday-Friday, 7:00am-3:30pm
Onsite in Marion, OH

Permanent Opportunity

What You'll Be Doing:

• Review drawings, resin mix sheets, layup schedules, cure requirements, bills of materials (BOMs), and work instructions before inspection.

• Inspect raw materials, including glass reinforcements, resin systems, catalysts, fillers, and additives, for correct lot numbers and condition.

• Verify resin mixing accuracy, including ratios, catalyst percentages, batch temperature, pot life, and documentation.

• Inspect filament-wound pipe, hand-layup sections, fittings, ducting, and structural FRP components for fiber orientation, resin saturation, voids, dry spots, bridging, thickness, laminate build-up, dimensional tolerances, and cure completeness.

• Confirm environmental conditions, including humidity, temperature, and ventilation, meet resin manufacturer requirements.

• Inspect cut, machined, or bonded FRP components for accuracy, edge quality, taper, and fit-up.

• Conduct final inspections before release, hydrostatic testing, customer inspection, or shipment.

• Verify proper PPE, ventilation, and safe handling practices for styrene-based resins, catalysts, solvents, and additives.

• Ensure chemical containers are labeled, stored, and dispensed according to SDS and company procedures.

• Inspect chemical transfer equipment for cleanliness and proper operation.

• Document and escalate unsafe chemical handling, improper storage, or deviations from SDS requirements.

• Support spill response readiness by verifying absorbents, eyewash stations, and emergency showers are functional and accessible.

• Collaborate with Production, Resin Mixing, Engineering, Safety, and Warehouse teams to prevent defects and chemical-handling errors.

• Escalate unclear resin specifications, missing technical details, or conflicting drawings to Quality and Engineering.

• Support hydrostatic testing, pressure testing, and final QC release.

• Document nonconformances, corrective actions, inspection reports, and photo records.

Who We're Looking For:

• Ideally 1–3+ years of quality inspection experience in FRP, composites, resin-based manufacturing, piping systems, or industrial equipment.

• Ability to read mechanical drawings, laminate schedules, resin mix sheets, and cure specifications.

• Hands-on experience inspecting composite layups, resin batches, dimensional tolerances, and workmanship.

• Familiarity with resin systems such as polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy, as well as catalysts, fillers, and additives.

• Strong attention to detail and the confidence to stop work when resin ratios, cure conditions, or workmanship deviate from requirements.

• Ability to work safely around chemicals, solvents, catalysts, and composite manufacturing processes.

• Experience in fiberglass pipe manufacturing, filament winding, hand layup, or composite fabrication preferred.

• Experience with hydrostatic testing, pressure testing, or mechanical testing of FRP components preferred.

• Knowledge of ISO 9001, ITPs, first-article inspection, NCR/CAPA, and root-cause analysis preferred.

• Familiarity with chemical-service piping standards, including ASTM, RTP-1, ASME RTP, or PS-15-69, preferred.

• Understanding of styrene exposure controls, catalyst safety, and composite-specific chemical hazards preferred.
