Description

BLOX is revolutionizing the construction industry by integrating advanced manufacturing principles with innovative technology to deliver high-quality, modular building solutions.

Job Responsibilities

· Perform in-process and final quality inspections of assigned units against manufacturing drawing package elements (QC Sheets, Finish Sheets) under the direction of a QC Technician II or Specialist.

· Follow all established quality inspection processes: complete Dozuki guide steps accurately, verify regulatory labels, capture required HoloBuilder photo documentation, and apply Final QC check sheets, stickers, and labels.

· Support Measurement and Test activities: assist with Plumbing, MedGas, Electrical, and Welding visual identification checks and confirm all required testing identifications are present before sign-off.

· Verify that paper travelers are fully completed by operations before Final QC sign-off and flag incomplete travelers to a QC Technician II, Specialist, or QC Lead.

· Document quality findings in Autodesk ACC (BIM 360) and enter Quality Non-Conformances that are complete and clearly described.

· Escalate unresolved or recurring quality issues and participate in 5-Why problem-solving discussions as directed.

· Follow Built-in Quality verification checks and inspection criteria defined for each line station and Final QC, reporting deviations from standard immediately.

· Maintain cleanliness and organization of inspection tools, gauges, and workstation areas, and report damaged or out-of-calibration equipment to the QC Lead.

· Actively participate in quality control training programs and demonstrate proficiency in BLOX QC standards, Dozuki guides, and BIM 360 procedures.

· Support continuous improvement by communicating observations and process improvement ideas to the QC Technician II or QC Lead.

· Comply with all BLOX safety policies and procedures, and perform additional duties as assigned by the QC Lead or QC Supervisor.

· Basic proficiency with computer applications (email, spreadsheets, digital forms) and the ability to learn BIM 360, Dozuki, and HoloBuilder with training.

· Consistent process compliance: follows established inspection steps completely and seeks clarification when uncertain rather than proceeding without confirmation.
