Quality Inspector

Responsible for ensuring the quality of sheet metal fabricated and welded components by monitoring production processes, conducting inspections, identifying defects, and implementing corrective and preventive actions.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct incoming, in-process, and final inspection of sheet metal and welded components.
• Inspect components manufactured through Laser Cutting, CNC Bending, Fabrication, TIG Welding and MIG Welding processes.
• Verify component dimensions using Vernier Caliper, Micrometer, Height Gauge, Gauges and other measuring instruments.
• Check welding quality, including weld size, penetration, bead appearance, undercut, porosity, cracks, spatter and distortion.
• Ensure welding operations are carried out as per WPS, drawings, specifications and quality standards.
• Interpret and understand engineering drawings, GD&T and welding symbols.
• Prepare and maintain Inspection Reports, Quality Check Sheets, NCR Reports and other quality records.
• Identify process and product defects and coordinate with Production and Engineering teams for corrective actions.
• Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) using tools such as 5 Why, Fishbone Analysis and 8D.
• Implement and monitor Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
• Monitor welding and fabrication process parameters and ensure compliance with approved standards.
• Support first-piece inspection, prototype inspection and new product development activities.
• Conduct welding defect analysis and support improvement activities to reduce rejection and rework.
• Ensure calibration status of measuring instruments and maintain relevant records.
• Participate in internal, customer and certification audits.
• Support implementation of 5S, Kaizen, Continuous Improvement and Zero Defect initiatives.
• Coordinate with Production, PPC, Maintenance and Engineering teams to resolve quality issues.
• Prepare daily/weekly quality reports covering rejection, rework, defects and process performance.
• Ensure compliance with applicable QMS procedures and customer-specific requirements.
