Sheet Metal Dimensional Quality Inspector

Location: Bonham, TX

Experience: 1–2 years preferred

A Day in the Role

From the first cut to final finish, you are the last line of defense for quality. You arrive to the sheet metal floor, pull the latest blueprint, confirm tolerances, and step to the bench with tape measure, calipers, micrometers, and gauges in hand. You move between fabrication, paint, assembly, and final inspection stations—verifying critical dimensions, checking cosmetics, and ensuring every component and assembly aligns with specs. Along the way, you log results with precision, flag any nonconformance, and partner with production to correct issues fast. You also spot-check incoming supplier materials, audit processes for adherence to company quality standards, and keep your work area safe, orderly, and inspection ready.

What You Will Do

• Perform in-process and final inspections on sheet metal parts, subassemblies, and completed assemblies.
• Interpret blueprints, specifications, tolerances, and work instructions to determine accept/reject criteria.
• Use precision tools—tape measures, calipers, micrometers, gauges—to verify dimensions and features.
• Inspect incoming materials and supplier-provided products before they enter production.
• Execute visual and dimensional checks to identify defects and nonconforming conditions.
• Document inspection outcomes accurately and communicate quality concerns promptly.
• Audit manufacturing procedures for conformity with company quality standards.
• Collaborate with production to resolve quality issues at the source.
• Follow safety policies and maintain a clean, organized inspection area.
