   • Assist in identifying areas for improvement in the production process to ensure higher quality and efficiency.

5. Learning and Skill Development:

   • Participate in training sessions to develop skills in quality control procedures, testing methods, and the use of measurement tools.
   • Learn to interpret technical specifications, drawings, and blueprints related to mechanical systems.
   • Continuously improve knowledge of quality control standards and mechanical system requirements under the guidance of experienced team members.

6. Safety and Compliance:

   • Follow safety procedures and wear required personal protective equipment (PPE) when conducting inspections or handling mechanical systems.
   • Adhere to company policies and industry standards for safety, quality control, and environmental practices.
   • Report any safety hazards or concerns to supervisors immediately and ensure that quality checks do not disrupt production flow.

Key Focus Areas:

1. Inspection and Measurement:

   • Assist in the inspection and measurement of mechanical systems, parts, and components to ensure they meet quality standards and specifications.

2. Troubleshooting and Problem-Solving:

   • Help identify mechanical issues and quality deviations, providing support for the team in resolving quality-related challenges.

3. Quality Documentation:

   • Assist in maintaining accurate quality control records and reports, ensuring traceability of inspections, tests, and corrective actions.

4. Safety Compliance:

   • Adhere to safety regulations and use appropriate PPE when conducting inspections or handling machinery and mechanical systems.

5. Continuous Learning and Development:

   • Take initiative in learning about quality control procedures, mechanical systems, and testing techniques to develop expertise in the field.

Qualifications and Skills:

1. Educational Requirements:

   • High school diploma or equivalent required; a technical diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Maintenance, or a related field is preferred.
   • Recent graduates or individuals with 1-2 years of experience in mechanical systems or quality control are encouraged to apply.

2. Technical Skills:

   • Basic understanding of mechanical systems, components, and their functions.
   • Familiarity with measurement tools (e.g., calipers, micrometers, gauges) is an advantage but not required.
   • Willingness to learn quality control procedures, testing methods, and the use of diagnostic tools.

3. Soft Skills:

   • Strong attention to detail to ensure accurate inspections and measurements.
   • Good communication skills to collaborate effectively with senior team members, production staff, and other departments.
   • A proactive approach to learning and developing technical skills.
   • Ability to work well as part of a team in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
