Motor vehicle assembly inspector

The inspector finds irregularities and defects, and inspects the repair work carried out on them, which means checking not only that a fault was fixed but that fixing it did not create another. Compliance with production quality standards is monitored throughout assembly, and the inspector also supervises the motor vehicle production process.

The inspector supplies detailed inspection documentation and recommends actions where problems are found, and notifies the manager of any irregularities.

The inspector applies European vehicle type-approval legislation, which sets what a vehicle must satisfy to be sold, and ensures compliance with health and safety standards on the assembly line. The inspector reads engineering sketches and technical documentation, and knowledge of mechanics tells the inspector what a correctly assembled mechanism looks like and how it works.
