Quality Inspector B

Inspect, test, sort, sample, or weigh non-aerostat raw materials or processed, machined, fabricated, or assembled parts or products for defects, wear, and deviations from specifications; evaluates documentation, performs laboratory procedures, measures process performance, records data and prepares reports. May use precision measuring instruments and complex test equipment. Level B is an inspector competent to perform all areas of practice with modest supervision and support - a Level B inspector can handle back shift, off-day or remote site shift semi-independently where immediate access to higher quality assurance authority is unavailable.
