Floor Inspector

Floor Inspector - 2nd Shift Location: Cudahy, WI (Onsite) Employment Type: Full-Time About the Role Milwaukee Cylinder is seeking a self-directed and detail-oriented Floor Inspector to support second-shift manufacturing operations. This role is responsible for maintaining product quality standards and verifying that CNC-machined components meet engineering specifications. Working independently when day-shift leadership is off-site, the Floor Inspector will perform dimensional and visual inspections, investigate discrepancies, document nonconforming material, and communicate quality trends to production and quality leadership. What You'll Do Conduct first-article, in-process, final dimensional, and visual inspections of CNC-milled and turned components across second-shift production. Use micrometers, calipers, height gauges, dial indicators, thread gauges, surface plates, and other precision instruments to verify part conformance. Read and interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, blueprints, and GD&T callouts to determine inspection requirements. Identify, isolate, and quarantine out-of-tolerance material, then document findings through internal non-conformance material reports (NCMRs). Investigate machining discrepancies, assess potential causes, and make sound initial quality dispositions without direct supervision. Maintain accurate inspection logs and prepare clear shift-handover notes covering machine performance, quality trends, and active issues. Provide objective, actionable feedback to machinists and production personnel to correct variances and prevent recurring defects. Must-Have Skills and Experience (These are required for consideration.) 3 to 5 years of combined experience in a precision CNC manufacturing environment. Dedicated quality inspection experience or extensive hands-on CNC machining experience that included formal quality control responsibilities. Advanced ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, technical specifications, and GD&T callouts. Proficiency with standard mechanical inspection tools and surface plate setups. Strong understanding of CNC machining processes, tooling behavior, cutting parameters, and common industrial metals. Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and troubleshoot quality issues in an off-shift manufacturing environment. High school diploma or equivalent. Basic computer proficiency. Ability to lift up to 50 pounds. Nice-to-Have Skills (These are preferred but not required.) Technical certification or associate degree in machining, manufacturing technology, or quality control. Experience completing first-article inspections and documenting NCMRs. Experience working in a union manufacturing environment. Who You Are You are dependable and comfortable making quality decisions without direct supervision. You approach inspections methodically and take ownership of accurate, complete documentation. You communicate clearly with machinists, production employees, and day-shift leadership. You can identify problems, separate facts from assumptions, and provide practical feedback that supports corrective action. Additional Details Schedule: Second shift, exact hours to be confirmed.
