A 3rd Shift Quality Inspector is responsible for monitoring and inspecting products during overnight hours to ensure they meet quality standards and specifications. Their duties typically include examining materials, conducting tests, documenting results, and reporting any defects or issues to supervisors.

Familiarity with inspection tools like calipers, micrometers, and quality management systems (QMS) software is often required. Strong communication, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work independently during overnight hours help individuals excel in this role. These skills ensure product standards are maintained and production issues are addressed promptly, supporting overall manufacturing quality and efficiency.
