Quality Inspector - Weld Assembly

Pay: Discussed at interview

Schedule: Full-time, 2nd shift, overtime as production needs it

Location: Batesville Tool & Die, 177 Six Pine Ranch Road, Batesville, IN 47006

Own the quality checks on a weld assembly floor: layouts, gages, error-proofing and a CMM, inside a real Quality organization.

This is a hands-on inspection job with real scope, not a paperwork post and not a supervisor job. At Batesville Tool & Die you perform first and last piece layouts, read part prints, decide when a gage needs calibration, verify the poka-yokes (error-proofing devices) on every weld cell, manage the assembly hold area, and teach operators how to do their own checks with torque wrenches and force testers. You report to the Quality Manager and, above that, the VP of Quality, on an automotive-tier (TS/ISO) quality system. And when you want the next credential, Ivy Tech runs an on-site lab here and BTD reimburses tuition.

✔ Ivy Tech Community College on-site lab, tuition reimbursement, "Achieve Your Degree" and tuition deferment

• Make sure the green tag (run-approval tag) is completed and at the right work center at the start of each run
