• Documentation: Record inspection results, maintain detailed reports, and log non-conformances using quality management systems or paper-based records.
• Process Monitoring: Monitor fabrication processes, including cutting, bending, welding, and assembly, to ensure adherence to quality standards and procedures.
• Non-Conformance Handling: Identify and report defective products, initiate corrective actions, and collaborate with production teams to resolve quality issues.

• Tool Calibration: Verify that inspection tools and equipment are calibrated and maintained for accurate measurements.
• Continuous Improvement: Participate in quality audits, suggest process improvements, and contribute to reducing defects and waste in production.

• Familiarity with sheet metal fabrication processes (e.g., laser cutting, CNC punching, welding, forming).
• Expertise in using precision measuring tools and equipment.
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
• Basic computer skills for documentation and reporting (e.g., Microsoft Office, ERP systems).
• Certifications: Certification in quality control (e.g., ASQ Certified Quality Inspector) or NDT certifications are a plus.
