E-House Assembly Quality Control Inspector

Panelmatic•Houston, TX

About The Position

The E-House Assembly Quality Control Inspector verifies that modular electrical buildings, e-houses, and associated enclosures are assembled according to approved engineering drawings, bills of materials, customer specifications, installation requirements, and company quality procedures. The role performs in-process and final inspections of structural components, wall and roof panels, doors, penetrations, HVAC openings, equipment supports, hardware, sealing systems, and other assembly components. The inspector checks dimensional accuracy, installation, fit and finish, weatherproofing, and required quality documentation, and works with Production, Engineering, Electrical Quality Control, Paint Quality Control, and the QC Supervisor to identify defects, prevent nonconforming work from advancing, verify rework, and confirm acceptance before the e-house moves to the next production stage. The inspector reviews approved documentation and material readiness; inspects panel, structural, roof, door, trim, equipment-support, insulation, sealing, and coating work; coordinates required tests and inspections; documents findings and nonconformances; and verifies corrective work. The position may place affected work on hold, prevent concealment at designated hold points, reject workmanship that fails acceptance criteria, request Engineering clarification, and escalate unresolved issues. The inspector must maintain independent judgment and accurate records, and is not responsible for redesigning components, changing engineering requirements, authorizing undocumented modifications, or independently making engineering dispositions. The position is based at the West Houston, Texas facility (PES, non-union). Work is primarily in e-house assembly areas on the production floor, including inside, around, and on top of structures, with some office time for records and reporting. The environment includes manufacturing noise, dust, overhead cranes, forklifts, power tools, welding and cutting operations, and seasonal temperature variation. Required PPE must be worn. The work requires frequent standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and climbing ladders, stairs, and elevated work platforms; fall protection may be required for roof and elevated inspections. Occasional extended hours may be required to support production schedules and customer delivery commitments.

Requirements

Experience in manufacturing quality inspection, industrial assembly, modular building assembly, or a related field.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, assembly details, bills of materials, and installation instructions.
Knowledge of dimensional inspection, mechanical fit-up, fastening, sealing, and general manufacturing workmanship.
Ability to use common inspection tools, including tape measures, squares, levels, and other dimensional measuring equipment.
Ability to recognize defects, document findings, and communicate effectively with production personnel.
Ability to follow inspection procedures and maintain accurate quality records.
Ability to perform work requiring frequent standing, walking, bending, kneeling, climbing ladders and stairs, and inspecting elevated or confined areas.
Willingness to wear required PPE and use fall protection when required for roof and elevated inspections.

Nice To Haves

Experience inspecting e-houses, modular electrical buildings, electrical enclosures, industrial skids, or similar assemblies.
Experience with panel installation, roof systems, doors, weatherproofing, sealants, insulation, and HVAC interfaces.
Familiarity with water-ingress testing and verification of corrective actions.
Experience with NCRs, punch lists, inspection travelers, and ISO 9001 quality systems.
Familiarity with torque verification and coordination with electrical quality inspectors.
Experience using digital inspection forms, spreadsheets, and document control systems.

Responsibilities

Verify required base inspections are complete and the base has been released for assembly.
Review current approved assembly drawings, BOMs, installation instructions, and customer requirements.
Confirm materials and components are available, undamaged, correct, and consistent with approved documentation; identify discrepancies before installation.
Verify base dimensions, mounting interfaces, lifting features, and structural supports have been accepted, and confirm relevant nonconformances have approved dispositions before work proceeds.
Inspect wall panels and structural assemblies for identification, orientation, placement, alignment, plumbness, straightness, squareness, fit, joints, seams, connections, fasteners, supports, and workmanship.
Verify field modifications and other alterations are authorized and meet approved requirements; document and escalate dimensional or fit-up discrepancies.
Inspect roof panels, seams, transitions, caps, flashing, drip edges, penetrations, HVAC openings, fasteners, overlaps, seals, gaskets, and weatherproofing details.
Coordinate required water-ingress or other weatherproofing tests, document results, and verify repairs are successfully reinspected or retested before release.
Inspect door frames, panels, hinges, handles, locks, hardware, alignment, clearances, operation, latching, and sealing.
Inspect interior and exterior trim, transitions, brackets, mounting plates, covers, accessories, cutouts, and penetrations for proper installation and finish.
Inspect equipment supports, mounting hardware, HVAC openings and interfaces, clearances, access panels, and service access; document specified torque requirements when applicable.
Coordinate with Electrical QC on applicable inspection and release requirements.
Verify inspections and required records are complete before insulation, mastic, liners, or other materials conceal work; inspect insulation coverage, fit, thickness, sealing, and workmanship.
Verify concealed-work photographs and records are complete and reinspect rework involving insulation, mastic, panels, or resealing.
Inspect finished surfaces and coatings for damage, contamination, handling marks, and workmanship; verify repairs, touch-ups, exposed-edge protection, and corrosion protection meet approved requirements.
Coordinate with Paint QC when coating acceptance, compatibility, or repair requirements need technical review.
Identify and document nonconforming materials, installation defects, workmanship issues, and drawing discrepancies; place affected work on hold when required.
Complete inspection checklists, travelers, punch lists, and quality records, including pass/fail results, measurements, comments, photographs, and drawing revisions as required.
Verify designated inspection hold points are complete, maintain traceability of inspection records, and ensure defects are corrected or formally dispositioned before release.
Communicate assembly status, quality concerns, and release restrictions in production meetings and daily quality updates.
Perform final assembly inspections before transfer to integration, electrical completion, customer testing, or another designated production stage.
Request Engineering clarification on conflicting drawings, missing dimensions, unclear installation details, or proposed deviations, and escalate unresolved issues to the QC Supervisor.
Verify approved rework before accepting affected work and maintain inspection independence by accurately documenting actual findings.
