Electrical Integration Quality Control Inspector

Panelmatic•Houston, TX

3d•Onsite

About The Position

The Electrical Integration QC Inspector verifies the quality, accuracy, and completeness of electrical installation and integration activities in e-houses, modular electrical buildings, switchgear assemblies, power distribution units (PDUs), relay panels, control panels, and associated electrical systems. The position performs in-process and final inspections of equipment installation, cable and conductor routing, terminations, grounding and bonding, panel interfaces, wire identification, electrical connections, and required test documentation. The inspector checks work against approved electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, customer specifications, manufacturer instructions, applicable codes, and company quality procedures. Working closely with Electrical Production, Electrical Engineering, Testing, Assembly QC, and the QC Supervisor, the inspector identifies discrepancies, prevents nonconforming work from advancing, verifies corrective actions, and confirms assemblies are ready for testing and final release. The role is based at the West Houston, Texas facility and works primarily in e-house electrical integration and test areas on the production floor, with office time for inspection records, nonconformance reports, test documentation, and reporting. The work involves manufacturing conditions and proximity to electrical equipment during testing under approved safety procedures. Required PPE, including arc-rated PPE where specified, must be worn. Occasional extended hours may be required to support production schedules and customer delivery commitments.

Requirements

Experience in electrical quality inspection, electrical assembly, industrial manufacturing, or a related field.
Experience with e-houses, switchgear, motor control centers, PDUs, relay panels, control panels, or industrial electrical enclosures.
Experience with electrical torque verification and manufacturer torque specifications.
Familiarity with point-to-point checks, continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, and grounding verification.
Familiarity with applicable NEC requirements, relevant UL standards, NETA testing requirements where applicable, and customer-specific electrical specifications.
Experience with NCRs, inspection travelers, corrective actions, and ISO 9001 quality management systems.
Electrical training, relevant inspection certifications, or other qualifications required by applicable customer or project requirements.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and point-to-point drawings.
Knowledge of electrical components, conductor identification, terminations, grounding, bonding, and general electrical workmanship.
Ability to use basic inspection and measuring tools and follow documented inspection procedures.
Ability to complete quality records accurately and communicate discrepancies clearly.
Understanding of safe work practices around electrical equipment.
Ability to distinguish wire colors and read small markings.

Responsibilities

Review approved drawings, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, customer specifications, and manufacturer instructions; confirm materials are correct, prior inspections are complete, and open nonconformances are dispositioned before work proceeds.
Inspect switchgear, PDUs, transformers, relay and control panels, and other equipment for correct parts, ratings, orientation, mounting, clearances, and service access.
Inspect wire and cable routing, support, segregation, bend radius, protection, identification, and terminations against wiring diagrams and cable schedules.
Verify grounding and bonding connections, conductor sizes, surface preparation, and torque documentation; coordinate continuity and bonding tests with qualified personnel.
Verify panel wiring, device tags, terminal numbering, and labels against schematics and terminal plans; coordinate point-to-point verification and functional checks.
Confirm required inspections are complete before testing; witness or verify specified electrical tests and review results, test equipment calibration, and acceptance criteria.
Ensure failed tests are documented, affected work is held, and corrective action and retesting are completed.
Inspect for electrical safety hazards, missing barriers or covers, required labeling, and debris or foreign objects in enclosures; immediately escalate critical safety concerns.
Identify and document defects, place nonconforming work on hold, and initiate nonconformance reports (NCRs) with drawing references, photographs, measurements, or test results.
Notify the QC Supervisor, Electrical Production, and Engineering of significant defects or drawing conflicts; do not independently approve substitutions or deviations, perform energized testing, or authorize energization outside approved qualifications and procedures.
Verify completed rework and identify recurring defects for corrective action.
Complete inspection checklists, travelers, torque records, NCRs, and test documentation, maintaining traceability to equipment, project numbers, and drawing revisions.
Confirm hold points and records are complete before work advances; perform final integration inspections before testing, customer inspection, or release.
Communicate inspection status, open issues, and release restrictions during daily production meetings.
