Apprentice Inspector
Portsmouth, England, United Kingdom
As an apprentice inspector, I was tasked with ensuring that all products met customer standards, using CMMs and a range of mechanical tools to measure the parts and verify it conforms to the drawing. I would decide whether or not to accept or deny parts based on the quality of the finish, the dimensions and other specifications (thread types and depths, anodize quality etc.).I would also ensure batch traceability was kept using logs, and would then use those logs for KPIs. I would also help my manager with sending equipment for calibration, or in-house calibration monthly to guarantee the highest level of precision measuring with both the inspection lab and also on the shop floor.During my time at college I also acquired some skills in maintenance (planned, preventative, predictive and reactive), electrical fault finding and wiring, report writing and health and safety procedures.
