Description

Quality control inspectors make sure that products meet standards of quality and safety. For example, they measure and weigh products, examine samples and test them. Inspect products purchased from suppliers and maintain records of supplier performance. This data is important in helping suppliers to improve their performance and for making decisions regarding which suppliers can be relied on to meet specified requirements.

Desired Skills & Experience

As a quality control inspector, you must be observant and very good at paying attention to detail. You will also need to be patient as some tests are complex and take a long time to complete. You should have a logical, methodical approach to your work and you must be accurate when taking measurements and recording figures. You need good number skills, for example, in order to measure and weigh samples, or perhaps to understand and use statistics. You should have good computer skills because quality control inspectors often analyse, store and display test results on computers.
