Accurus Aerospace Tulsa, 12716 East Pine Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States of America

Inspectors are key personnel in the Accurus Quality Department, and their duties are integral to our overall quality management system and customer satisfaction. These employees perform inspections on newly received goods and work-in-process, and are responsible for final inspections of machined aerospace parts and assemblies to ensure compliance with engineering requirements and work instructions. Inspectors are required to document specific information regarding approvals and non-conforming parts and may be involved in problem-solving to identify rework requirements. Additionally, inspectors may provide quality and/or manufacturing process training for manufacturing personnel.

Processing inspectors use precision measurement tools (mics, calipers, gauges, etc.) to perform inspections on parts after painting or chemical processing has been completed.
