Core Skills & Abilities

  • Fabricate, install, position, or connect components, parts, finished products, or instruments for testing or operational purposes.

  • Record inspection or test data, such as weights, temperatures, grades, or moisture content, and quantities inspected or graded.

  • Position products, components, or parts for testing.

  • Recommend necessary corrective actions, based on inspection results.

  • Monitor machines that automatically measure, sort, or inspect products.

  • Make minor adjustments to equipment, such as turning setscrews to calibrate instruments to required tolerances.

  • Inspect or test raw materials, parts, or products to determine compliance with environmental standards.

  • Measure dimensions of products to verify conformance to specifications, using measuring instruments, such as rulers, calipers, gauges, or micrometers.

  • Monitor production operations or equipment to ensure conformance to specifications, making necessary process or assembly adjustments.

  • Compare colors, shapes, textures, or grades of products or materials with color charts, templates, or samples to verify conformance to standards.

  • Write test or inspection reports describing results, recommendations, or needed repairs.

  • Mark items with details, such as grade or acceptance-rejection status.

  • Read dials or meters to verify that equipment is functioning at specified levels.

  • Remove defects, such as chips, burrs, or lap corroded or pitted surfaces.

  • Inspect, test, or measure materials, products, installations, or work for conformance to specifications.

  • Weigh materials, products, containers, or samples to verify packaging weights or ingredient quantities.

  • Collect or select samples for testing or for use as models.

  • Clean, maintain, calibrate, or repair measuring instruments or test equipment, such as dial indicators, fixed gauges, or height gauges.

  • Administer tests to assess whether engineers or operators are qualified to use equipment.

  • Disassemble defective parts or components, such as inaccurate or worn gauges or measuring instruments.

  • Grade, classify, or sort products according to sizes, weights, colors, or other specifications.

  • Compute usable amounts of items in shipments.

  • Adjust, clean, or repair products or processing equipment to correct defects found during inspections.

  • Read blueprints, data, manuals, or other materials to determine specifications, inspection and testing procedures, adjustment methods, certification processes, formulas, or measuring instruments required.

  • Notify supervisors or other personnel of production problems.

  • Discard or reject products, materials, or equipment not meeting specifications.

  • Analyze test data, making computations as necessary, to determine test results.

  • Interpret legal requirements, provide safety information, or recommend compliance procedures to contractors, craft workers, engineers, or property owners.

  • Compute defect percentages or averages, using formulas and calculators.

  • Stack or arrange tested products for further processing, shipping, or packaging.
