Quality Inspector

We are recruiting quality inspectors for manufacturers in Scarborough: people who check what comes off the line against the specification, and stop bad product before it ships.

Inspection ranges from visual sorting of parts to measuring with calipers, micrometers and gauges and recording the results. Automotive-supply plants also bring in inspectors at short notice for containment: sorting suspect stock until the cause is fixed. It suits someone careful, who will say so when something is wrong.

Pay and hours

• $20.00 to $26.00 an hour. Experience with gauges, a coordinate measuring machine or automotive quality standards pays at the top of the range.
• Day, afternoon and night shifts, often rotating with the line
• Afternoon and night shifts usually pay $1 to $2 an hour more
• Overtime paid at time and a half after 44 hours in a week
• Offered as: temporary and temp-to-perm. While you are on assignment through us, Assured is your employer and pays you.

What you will do

• Inspect parts and product visually and with measuring tools
• Compare results to drawings, specifications and samples
• Record inspection results and tag non-conforming product
• Sort and contain suspect stock
• Report recurring defects to the supervisor or quality lead

What you need

• Legally entitled to work in Canada
• At least six months in quality inspection or production with quality checks
• Able to read a tape, calipers and basic drawings
• Good eyesight for detail (with glasses if you wear them) and accurate record-keeping
• CSA-approved safety boots (green triangle) before your first shift

Helpful, not required: experience with micrometers, height gauges or a coordinate measuring machine; automotive quality experience.

The work environment

• Standing at a bench or line for most of the shift
• Plant-floor noise; hearing protection and safety glasses are provided where required
• Two paid 15-minute breaks and an unpaid 30-minute meal are standard

What you get

• Paid every week by direct deposit, with an electronic pay stub
• Vacation pay on top of your hourly rate, and public holiday pay when you qualify
• WSIB coverage from your first shift, with tax and other deductions handled on every pay
• A safety orientation before you start, and WHMIS training arranged if you need it
• A recruiter you can phone seven days a week
• Never a fee. Employers pay for our service, not you
