Full Job Description

A well-established aerospace component repair and manufacturing organization is seeking a hands-on Chief Inspector to lead site Quality and inspection activities within an FAA Part 145 repair-station environment.

This position is responsible for leading inspection personnel, protecting the independence and integrity of the inspection function, maintaining compliant return-to-service controls, and ensuring continued readiness for FAA, EASA, AS9100, ISO 9001, customer and registrar audits.

The ideal candidate combines strong repair-station knowledge with practical leadership experience and is comfortable working closely with Production, Engineering and Supply Chain while maintaining required quality and airworthiness standards.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead daily Quality and inspection activities, establish priorities, coach employees and maintain accountability.
Protect the independence of the inspection function and ensure products are not released until all applicable requirements have been met.
Ensure repair, inspection and return-to-service activities comply with FAA Part 145 requirements, applicable EASA requirements, the RSM/QCM, AS9100, ISO 9001, customer requirements and company procedures.
Maintain effective incoming, in-process, final-inspection and product-acceptance controls.
Oversee inspector qualifications, training, authorizations, roster information and written company approvals.
Ensure return-to-service functions are completed only by properly qualified and authorized personnel.
Lead nonconformance review, root-cause analysis, corrective action, effectiveness verification and repeat-defect prevention.
Oversee document control, calibration, traceability, first-article inspection, supplier documentation and quality-record processes.
Prepare for and host FAA, EASA, customer, AS9100/ISO and internal audits.
Drive timely investigation, response and closure of audit findings and corrective actions.
Partner with Production, Engineering and Supply Chain to resolve quality concerns without lowering acceptance standards.
Monitor quality indicators such as escapes, repeat defects, first-pass yield, audit findings and corrective-action aging.
Stop or hold product release when regulatory, technical, customer or company requirements have not been satisfied.
Represent the organization professionally when working with customers, regulators, auditors and other external parties.

Required Qualifications:

High school diploma or equivalent.
At least five years of progressive experience in aircraft-component inspection, FAA repair-station quality, avionics, electronics manufacturing or a related aerospace environment.
Demonstrated lead, supervisory or inspection-team leadership experience.
Strong working knowledge of FAA Part 145 inspection, quality-control and return-to-service requirements.
Experience interpreting technical data, drawings, specifications, work instructions and regulatory requirements.
Experience supporting or leading audits, nonconformance review, root-cause analysis and corrective action.
Strong judgment, integrity and willingness to stop a release when requirements have not been met.
Strong communication, organization, documentation and problem-solving skills.
Experience using a quality-management or ERP system.
Ability to obtain the certification and written company authorization required for assigned return-to-service responsibilities.

Preferred Qualifications:

Previous experience as a Chief Inspector, Lead Inspector, Quality Supervisor or repair-station quality leader.
Current FAA mechanic or repairman certificate appropriate to the assigned work.
Experience with FAA Form 8130-3, dual release, FAA, EASA or customer audits.
Experience with AS9100, ISO 9001 or AS9102 first-article requirements.
Experience involving avionics, wiring, electronic assemblies, aerospace components or component refurbishment.
IPC, ASQ, lead-auditor, Six Sigma or related quality training or certification.

Benefits:

Medical, dental and vision coverage
Short- and long-term disability insurance
Life insurance
401(k) with company matching
Paid time off

The organization is an equal-opportunity employer and considers qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics.

Pay: $100,000.00 - $130,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
Dental insurance
Health insurance
Paid time off
Vision insurance

Application Question(s):

Describe your experience working in an FAA Part 145 repair station. Include your role, the types of products or components you supported, and your responsibilities related to inspection, quality, and return-to-service.
Describe your experience leading Quality or Inspection personnel. How many employees did you supervise, and what were your responsibilities for training, oversight, audit readiness, and maintaining inspection standards?
