About The Role
All Square Recruitment is excited to partner with a reputable engineering client based in Colchester, Essex, to recruit an experienced Quality Inspector for a short-term contract assignment. This is a fantastic opportunity for a detail-oriented metrology professional to provide dimensional measurement support using Romer Arm and CMM equipment, working within a structured quality environment on a well-established manufacturing site.
Key Responsibilities
- Interpret engineering drawings accurately, including dimensions, tolerances, units, revisions, notes, and title blocks.
- Apply general tolerancing principles, correctly distinguishing between drawing-wide and individually toleranced dimensions.
- Demonstrate a working understanding of GD&T, including flatness, straightness, parallelism, perpendicularity, position, profile, and datums.
- Carry out precise external, internal, step, and depth measurements using vernier and digital callipers.
- Set up and operate a Romer Arm with AS1 scanner, including referencing, probing/scanning, alignment, feature construction, and reporting.
- Prepare surfaces and apply correct scanning technique to ensure full coverage and recognise poor-quality point-cloud data.
- Maintain accurate inspection records, capturing measured values, equipment ID, drawing revision, and acceptance status.
- Check equipment calibration status prior to use and follow correct procedures for overdue or damaged equipment.
- Identify and quarantine nonconforming product, raising Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) rather than independently accepting deviations.
