• Record and maintain traceability data, ensuring full and accurate documentation for audit readiness and product quality history.
• Report inspection results clearly and promptly, collaborating with production teams to address issues swiftly.
• Identify, escalate, and document non-conformances, including raising NCRs and segregating non-compliant materials to prevent workflow disruption.
• Support process audits and final product approvals, ensuring all products are fully compliant before release.

• Strong working knowledge of ISO 9001:2015, quality control principles, and practical inspection techniques.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word for reporting, documentation, and data analysis.
• Understanding of Health, Safety, and Environmental regulations relevant to a manufacturing environment.
• Experience with Statistical Process Control (SPC) and quality compliance reporting.
• Exceptional attention to detail, accuracy, and a commitment to maintaining rigorous quality standards.

As a Parts Quality Inspector, you ensure that only components meeting exacting military and safety standards enter the production cycle.
