Job description


The Quality Inspector ensures that all components and assemblies used in the manufacturing of mixers and agitators meet company standards, engineering specifications, and customer requirements. This role requires expertise in precision measurement techniques, inspection of fabricated and machined parts, and verification of welds, finishes, and assemblies. The Quality Inspector plays a critical part in maintaining product integrity, reducing rework, and supporting continuous improvement across the manufacturing process.
Responsibilities
  • Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections on machined, fabricated, and welded parts used in mixers and agitators
  • Verify dimensional accuracy of shafts, impellers, housings, seals, couplings, and other mechanical components using a wide range of precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, bore gauges, height gauges, thread gauges, surface roughness testers, etc.)
  • Inspect welds, surface finishes, coatings, and assemblies to ensure compliance with drawings and specifications
  • Interpret and apply engineering drawings, tolerances, and GD&T requirements for complex components
  • Conduct functional and performance checks as required (e.g., run-out, concentricity, shaft straightness, impeller blade angle verification)
  • Use advanced tools such as Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) or portable measuring arms when applicable
  • Provide feedback to machinists, welders, and assemblers to address quality issues at the source
  • Support root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions for recurring defects
  • Contribute to lean and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance inspection efficiency and product reliability
  • Ensure safe inspection practices, including proper lifting, handling, and use of measuring tools
  • Adhere to company HSE policies and report unsafe conditions or incidents promptly
  • Verify supplier documentation for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable requirements.
  • Perform final inspections of seals following trimming and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) operations.
  • Coordinate with calibration vendors, including the 529 Lab, and internal departments to manage the gage calibration and recall program, ensuring all gages are calibrated within required timeframes.
  • Document Nonconformance Reports (NCRs) upon identification of nonconforming products and promptly notify relevant stakeholders.

Qualifications
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; technical certification or diploma in machining, mechanical engineering, or quality assurance preferred.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in quality inspection in a manufacturing environment, preferably involving rotating equipment, mixers, pumps, or industrial machinery.
  • Proficiency in using a broad range of precision measuring instruments (manual and digital)
  • Strong knowledge of mechanical inspection methods, GD&T, and engineering drawing interpretation
  • Familiarity with inspection of welds, surface finishes, coatings, and mechanical assemblies
  • Working knowledge of ISO 9001 quality systems; experience with API, ASME, or other industry standards is a plus
  • Competence with QMS software and Microsoft Office for documentation
  • Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving skills
  • Effective communication with production, engineering, and quality teams
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
  • Strong organizational skills to manage multiple inspections and priorities
  • Frequent standing, walking, bending, and lifting of components up to 50 lbs
  • Work performed in manufacturing shop environments with exposure to noise, heat, and moving equipment
