Visual Dimensional Inspector SSB1

PCC Talent Acquisition Portal•Clackamas, OR

About The Position

The Visual Dimensional Inspector visually and dimensionally inspects castings to verify compliance with customer specifications and ensure that only necessary rework is performed. The role reviews technical cards and lot numbers; visually inspects castings before and after heat treatment; and uses hand tools and precision measuring equipment to assess surface condition, dimensions, and hardness. The inspector identifies and marks areas requiring rework and works regularly with Straightening, Salvage, and Targeting areas. The role also supports engineering by helping establish and evaluate inspection techniques, identifying and resolving specification non-conformance issues, entering dimensional data into a computer for engineering purposes (except at LSBO), and preparing reports on dimensional issues. The inspector follows plant and department safety rules, operates equipment safely, reports safety problems, completes logs and records, and may provide training and work direction as directed. On-the-job training is provided, along with Visual/Dimensional Inspection courses and certification and an Ultrasound course as directed.

Requirements

Visual and dimensional inspection skills for using precision measuring inspection tools, demonstrated through classroom training and/or work experience.
Ability to read, interpret, and follow specifications on technical cards and other technical material.
Ability to write and perform arithmetic calculations.
Ability to perform dimensional inspection using proper techniques and read precision hand tools.
Correctable 20/30 vision and satisfactory results on depth perception and color vision tests.
Ability to provide work direction and training and communicate effectively.
Ability to work independently.
Ability to lift and/or maneuver objects weighing 30 to 50 pounds and occasionally up to 80 pounds.
Ability to work in difficult conditions that may include exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, and awkward physical positions for extended periods.

Nice To Haves

Completion of a Visual/Dimensional course at the time of hire is preferred.
