Job Description

The role will strengthen alignment between input and output inspections while modernizing the pattern inspection process to meet current standards and efficiency targets.

Roles and Responsibilities:

? Carry out dimensional and visual inspections of patterns to ensure accuracy and usability. ? Use traditional measuring equipment (calipers, rulers, micrometers, gauges) for routine checks.

? Assist in operating 3D scanning equipment to verify pattern dimensions against CAD models.

? Record inspection results clearly and submit reports to the Chief Inspector. ? Check that the latest approved drawings are used during inspection.

? Identify visible damage, wear, or defects on patterns before release to production.

? Tag, label, and store inspected patterns according to company production. ? Assist in trial inspections and first-off approvals of new or repaired patterns.

? Conduct pattern inspections at supplier facilities as required, reporting any issues back to the Chief Inspector.

? Support the development of supplier inspection levels by providing feedback on recurring issues and compliance gaps.

? Support corrective action processes by reporting non-conformances promptly.

? Conduct inspection for designated samples from start to finished product (as well as gauges where needed)

? Carry out ad hoc tasks as assigned by Chief Inspector or Quality Manager (such as 3D scanning of trials)

Qualifications and Experience:

? 2-5 years' experience in quality inspection or related foundry work (pattern knowledge beneficial)
