• Review and verify certificates of compliance, material certifications, test reports, product specifications, and packaging integrity.

• Document, tag, and segregate non-conforming material; initiate non-conformance reports and support Material Review Board (MRB) dispositions and supplier corrective actions.

• Maintain detailed and accurate records of inspections, including non-conformances, rejections, and returns.

• Work closely with procurement, warehouse, production, and engineering teams to ensure efficient and timely inspection of materials.

• Provide guidance, training, and mentorship to Receiving Inspector I personnel and assist with workload prioritization.
