Objectives:

Manual measurement (primary):

Outside/inside micrometers, vernier calipers, bore micrometers, telescopic/pin gauges, thread gauges (metric/UNC/UNF/BSP/NPT), height gauge/surface plate, dial indicators, surface finish comparators.

Portable arm (as needed):

Operate Romer arm for features best suited to portable coordinate measurement; generate spot-check reports where helpful.

Documentation:

Create and maintain inspection records (in-process/final), FAIR/ISIR style reports when required, and drawing mark-ups. Enter basic results in IMS/ERP/MRP as directed.

Conformance control:

Apply identification, traceability, and quarantine/hold tags; promptly raise NCRs with clear evidence (photos, measurements, drawing refs).

Collaboration:

Clarify drawing requirements GDT with Engineering; communicate issues early to minimise rework/delay.

Tools care:

Use calibrated instruments, perform pre-use checks, segregate suspect equipment, and request calibration/repair--

without

owning site-wide calibration administration.

HSE Quality:

Follow Trillium HSE procedures, risk assessments, and safe systems of work; participate in incident/near-miss reporting and continuous improvement.

Deliverables

Completed inspection records per job/operation. Non-conformance reports with evidence and suggested dispositions (where appropriate). Daily status updates to the Inspection Team Lead (WIP, blockers, expected completions). Optional portable-arm spot reports when agreed.

KPIs / Measures

On-time inspections versus agreed need-by dates. Right-first-time (RFT) inspection documentation quality (no rework of reports). Turnaround time for subcontracted incoming inspection. NCR quality (clarity, evidence, traceability).

Education/Experience

Time-served in an engineering discipline or equivalent experience in precision/mechanical inspection. Strong manual metrology capability in a workshop/service environment (rotating equipment familiarity advantageous). Proficient with MS Office (Word/Excel) for records and simple data collation.

Technical Competence

Confident reading engineering drawings and applying

GDT

(ISO 1101) and general tolerances (e.g., ISO 2768). Practical knowledge of threads, fits, and surface finish measurement. Basic familiarity with portable arm workflows (training can be provided).

Personal Attributes

High attention to detail, proactive, and calm under time pressure. Clear communicator (written verbal); collaborative and solutions focused. Safety- and quality-minded; self-starter who follows through.

Core Competencies

Drawing GDT Literacy:

Reads and interprets engineering drawings (incl. ISO 1101 / general tolerances), clarifies ambiguities quickly, and translates requirements into a practical inspection plan.

Manual Metrology Mastery:

Selects the right hand-tools (micrometers, bore gauges, height gauge, indicators), sets up on surface plate correctly, controls measurement error and documents uncertainty/limitations.

Evidence Traceability:

Records results cleanly with drawing refs and instrument IDs; maintains auditable trails; raises NCRs with photos, data and proposed dispositions where appropriate.

Conformance Decision-Making:

Makes timely, defensible release/hold decisions; escalates when risk, safety or compliance are in play.

Throughput Prioritisation:

Meets agreed inspection need-by dates; re-prioritises with the Inspection Team Lead; flags blockers early rather than rushing or cutting corners.

Communication Collaboration:

Communicates issues clearly to machinists/engineering; closes the loop on queries; keeps stakeholders updated on WIP and risks.

HSE Workplace Discipline:

Works to risk assessments and safe systems; keeps benches/plates organised; reports hazards/near misses promptly.

Professionalism Integrity:

Acts with fairness and respect; challenges non-conformance constructively; follows through on commitments.
