2nd Shift Quality Inspector

#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | Quality Inspector (Quality Tech) – 2nd Shift | Manufacturing | Parsons, KS

An established steel fabrication and manufacturing operation is adding Quality Inspectors on its night shift. You inspect parts and assemblies from receiving through fabrication to shipping against prints and customer specs — the checkpoint that keeps defects from leaving the building. Pay moves up a posted, skill-based ladder as you prove blueprint mastery, weld and coating inspection, and audit leadership.

• Anticipated $18.22–$25.00 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated skill level
• Pay advances on a defined skill ladder (blueprint proficiency, special-process weld/paint inspection, audit leadership)
• Full suite of benefits, 401K w/ match, PTO/Holiday
• 2nd shift; overtime available

Overview

• Catch defects before they leave the building — perform receiving, in-process, and final inspections against prints and specs
• Apply company and customer drawings as the inspection criteria on every part
• Produce inspection reports clear and accurate enough that the Quality Manager can act without follow-up
• Support internal audits and keep quality records and document control current
• Communicate quality issues to production and outside parties so they get fixed, not just logged

Preferred Skills and Experience

• High school diploma or GED
• Reads and applies blueprints and specifications as inspection criteria (strongly preferred)
• 2–3 years in a fabrication environment (welding, CNC, forming, assembly, coating, warehousing) — strongly preferred
• Hands-on use of dimensional inspection tools — calipers, gauges, measuring equipment
• Weld inspection knowledge; AWS D1.1 familiarity strongly preferred and tied to pay advancement
• ASME IX and powder-coat/paint inspection knowledge — accelerates progression on the pay ladder
• Comfortable working independently in a noisy, non-climate-controlled shop with forklift traffic
• Basic Word, Excel, and Outlook
