Quality Control Specialist (Compactor & Container Manufacturing) ( Outside position ) As a Quality Control (QC) Specialist, you will be the final line of defense in ensuring our industrial compactors and containers meet rigorous structural and functional standards. You will be responsible for the end-to-end inspection process, from initial sub-floor leveling to the final coat of paint, ensuring every unit is built In Accordance With (IAW) engineering drawings. Your primary tool for documentation will be the GoCanvas app, where you will maintain digital records of every inspection point to ensure 100% compliance and traceability. Key Responsibilities 1. Structural & Pre-Weld Inspection 

Precision Alignment:

Verify understructure is supported by blocks/jacks to prevent warping; ensure sub-floors are level and flat per drawings. 

Dimensional Accuracy:

Verify and record compactor assembly side widths pre- weld. 

Surface Prep:

Inspect packer assembly walls and sub-floors prior to ram installation, ensuring surfaces are buffed and cleaned. 2. Mechanical & Hydraulic Systems 

Ram Installation:

Measure and record the overall gap (LH/RH sum) to ensure it does not exceed 1/4 inch. 

Cylinder Integrity:

Verify cylinder attachment points are secured, pin collars are welded, and pinning plate holes are unaltered (no "trim to fit"). 

Hydraulics:

Inspect hoses for proper routing, secure fittings, and zero leaks. 

Safety Compliance:

Ensuring all units are serviced (greased) and mechanically sound before moving out of the work cell. 
