The Senior Receiving Inspector is responsible for leading and executing thorough inspections of incoming critical rotating equipment components—including turbine rotors, blades, and bearing housings. The role ensures that all received items meet technical specifications, dimensional tolerances, preservation requirements, and documentation standards. The senior inspector plays a key role in resolving nonconformities, training junior inspectors, and supporting the integrity of the supply chain for high-value turbomachinery projects.
Perform and oversee advanced visual and dimensional inspections of incoming turbine components for damage, corrosion, surface defects, or transport-related issues.
Use precision measurement tools (micrometers, dial indicators, bore gauges) to confirm conformance to engineering drawings and QA/QC specifications.
Validate part identification, serial numbers, and traceability against purchase orders and technical specs.
Review and approve material test certificates (MTCs), certificates of compliance (CoC), preservation checklists, and shipping documentation.
Inspect preservation measures including VCI wrapping, protective coatings, sealed packaging, desiccant placement, and crate condition.
Ensure all received parts meet internal and project-specific packaging/preservation requirements (e.g., MIL-STD-2073, ASTM D3951).
Identify, document, and escalate nonconforming items through NCRs and coordinate with vendors, procurement, and QA engineering for resolution.
Support root cause analysis for recurring defects or vendor quality issues.
Train and guide junior inspectors in QA procedures, safe handling practices, and technical inspection techniques.
Recommend process enhancements to improve efficiency, traceability, and compliance in receiving operations.
