Job Description
Inspection Technician (manufacturing)
Location: West Yorkshire
Salary: £30,000-£32,000 per annum
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Working Hours: Monday-Thursday 07:00-16:00 | Friday 07:00-13:00
We are looking for a hands-on Inspection Technician to join an established engineering manufacturing environment in Yorkshire.
This is a practical, workshop-based position for someone who enjoys working directly with engineering components, precision measuring equipment and technical drawings. You will spend much of your time carrying out dimensional inspections using a range of handheld and specialist inspection equipment, ensuring components meet exact specifications.
This role would be particularly well suited to someone from a machining, engineering inspection, metrology, manufacturing or workshop background, rather than someone whose experience is predominantly focused on quality administration or paperwork.
Responsibilities
• Carry out accurate dimensional inspection of manufactured components.
• Use a range of precision measuring and inspection equipment, including:
oMicrometres
oVerniers and callipers
oBore micrometres
oHeight gauges
oShadow graph / profile projector
oThread wires and thread gauges
oPlug gauges
oSurface measurement equipment
oHardness testing equipment
oCMM equipment where required
• Interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, specifications and work instructions.
• Carry out first-off, in-process and final inspections.
• Check components against specified dimensional and technical requirements.
• Identify defects, dimensional discrepancies and manufacturing issues.
• Provide practical and accurate feedback to machinists and production teams to help resolve manufacturing issues.
• Record inspection results and maintain accurate traceability documentation.
• Identify and quarantine non-conforming components where required.
• Inspect coated and subcontracted components for quality, condition and dimensional compliance.
• Ensure material and component reference numbers are correctly recorded for traceability.
• Support investigations into manufacturing issues by providing accurate measurement data.
• Assist with third-party inspections and internal inspection activities.
• Maintain inspection equipment and ensure measuring equipment is used correctly.
• Maintain a clean, organised and safe inspection/work area in line with 6S principles.
The Person
• We are looking for someone who is practical, technically minded and confident using precision measurement equipment.
• Confident using equipment such as micrometres, callipers, verniers and gauges.
• Ability to accurately measure engineering components and work to tight tolerances.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
• Good understanding of engineering/manufacturing processes.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach.
• Good numeracy and communication skills.
• Ability to identify issues and communicate findings clearly to production teams.
We are particularly interested in candidates who are comfortable picking up a micrometer or bore gauge and physically inspecting a component, rather than candidates whose background is predominantly quality systems, auditing or QC administration.
