About The Position

The Bonding Inspector A inspects production and first-run parts, units, assemblies, and materials made from materials such as plastic, fiberglass, metal, and wood when bonding agents or adhesives are used. The role inspects parts before, during, and after bonding, and may disassemble parts at the bond line to assess bond quality and perform tests against required specifications. Working from blueprints, specifications, or verbal instructions, the inspector evaluates items visually and with precision measuring instruments, gauges, jigs, fixtures, templates, and other inspection equipment. The role performs difficult inspection layouts and setups, rejects items that do not meet standards, and uses standard mathematical formulas to inspect rotor-blade weight and balance. The inspector maintains records, graphs, and charts for bonding procedures, tests, and related data, and assists other inspectors with proper methods and procedures.
