About the Role:
As a Materials Receiving Inspector, you play a safety-critical role in ensuring that every aircraft part, component, tool, and material received by the organization meets all regulatory, quality, and company standards before entering inventory. Serving as a key control point in the aviation supply chain, you will verify part identity, condition, quantity, and traceability while reviewing all associated airworthiness documentation in accordance with FAA regulations, company manuals, and industry standards. Your work directly supports aircraft airworthiness and prevents unapproved or non-conforming parts from entering service.
Working closely with the Materials, Maintenance, Purchasing, and Quality teams, you will perform detailed inspections of incoming shipments, identify discrepancies or damage, and take appropriate action-including rejection or quarantine-when needed. This role requires exceptional attention to detail, strong judgment, and the ability to consistently enforce compliance, even in fast-paced or time-sensitive situations such as AOG events. Accurate processing of inventory transactions, including serialized part tracking, condition codes, and system entries, is essential to maintaining traceability, inventory integrity, and overall operational readiness.
Beyond daily receiving and inspection activities, you will support regulatory audits, internal quality reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives by maintaining organized records and identifying trends or recurring issues with vendors, documentation, or handling practices. Professionalism, effective communication, and a safety-first mindset are essential, as you serve as a critical gatekeeper for compliance, quality, and safety within the aviation operation.
A Day in the Life:
Your day will be fast-paced and detail-driven, centered around ensuring that every part entering our operation is safe, compliant, and ready to support aircraft reliability. Typical responsibilities include:

When identified, you'll take the appropriate action-rejecting materials or placing them in quarantine.Processing Inventory Transactions: Accurately receive all items into the inventory management system, applying correct condition codes, locations, and serialized tracking to maintain inventory integrity.Routing and Labeling Accepted Materials: Label, tag, and route approved materials to stockrooms, staging areas, or maintenance teams, while ensuring quarantined or rejected items remain properly segregated.Coordinating With Key Stakeholders: Communicate promptly with Purchasing, Quality, and Maintenance when discrepancies arise or when urgent needs emerge-especially during time-critical or AOG situations.Maintaining a Safe and Organized Work Area: Keep the receiving and inspection area clean, efficient, and compliant with safety and quality standards at all times.Supporting Audits and Documentation Needs: Assist with internal and external audits by providing organized inspection records and documentation upon request.Closing Out the Day: Wrap up the shift by ensuring all receiving actions are documented, outstanding issues are communicated, and the work area is ready for the next team.
