Job Responsibilities

• Interpret Technical Documentation: Read, analyze, and accurately apply complex engineering documentation, including work orders, assembly and manufacturing blueprints, special instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and material specifications specific to turbomachinery.
• Execute Precision Measurements: Utilize a comprehensive array of manual and digital measuring devices to perform dimensional inspections, ensuring that turbine, compressor, and pump components strictly conform to drawing tolerances, quality standards, and completeness requirements.
• Conduct NDT Inspections: Perform thorough incoming, in-process, and final Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspections across various stages of the supply chain lifecycle to identify surface and subsurface defects.
• Manage Quality Documentation: Initiate and process critical quality control documentation, including scrap and rework reports, Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), and comprehensive quality action reports to track and resolve discrepancies.
• Maintain Equipment Calibration: Oversee the calibration processes and maintain meticulous logs for all inspection and measuring equipment, encompassing both company-issued quality center tools and personally owned precision instruments.
• Verify Incoming Supply Chain Materials: Inspect, identify, and formally approve incoming raw materials and outsourced components, verifying they match engineering drawings and material specifications before being released to the floor.
• Execute Operational Priorities: Effectively manage daily workflow by receiving, prioritizing, and adhering to inspection schedules and urgent operational targets set by supply chain management.
• Escalate Non-Conformances: Proactively identify, thoroughly document, and raise immediate awareness regarding any material or procedural non-conformances to the appropriate engineering and management teams.
• Uphold Safety and 5S Standards: Strictly adhere to all facility safety protocols and maintain workstations in a clean, organized, and highly functional operating condition.
• Author Inspection Reports: Draft clear, concise, and highly accurate inspection reports to maintain a permanent, traceable record for all evaluated parts.
• Validate Supplier Compliance: Review and analyze Material Test Reports (MTRs) provided by external suppliers to guarantee absolute compliance with Elliott's proprietary material specifications.
• Perform Final Release Inspections: Conduct rigorous final quality inspections on all finished turbomachinery parts and components prior to their approval for shipment or inventory storage.
