• Consistently follow approved inspection techniques, procedures, timing, and quality standards.
• Identify and segregate rejected or potentially nonconforming units.
• Escalate uncertain conditions for further evaluation rather than making assumptions or guessing.
• Accurately document inspection results in accordance with GMP/GDP requirements.
• Maintain accurate reconciliation of inspected, accepted, rejected, and further-evaluation units.
• Complete required GMP, GDP, safety, inspection-technique, and defect-recognition training.
• Successfully complete initial inspection qualification and maintain qualification status.
• Follow all required gowning, hygiene, eye-break, area-control, and product-handling requirements.
• Participate in refresher training, requalification, defect-kit activities, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• When inspection demand is lower, support other authorized drug-product activities such as documentation, inventory, training, area readiness, and defect-kit preparation.9

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify small visual defects.
• Ability to maintain sustained concentration during repetitive, precision-oriented work.
• Reliable attendance and punctuality.
• Willingness and ability to work either 1st or 2nd shift, depending on production needs.
• Ability to read, understand, and follow written procedures and step-by-step instructions in English.
• Basic math skills sufficient for counting, reconciliation, and simple calculations.
• Ability to safely handle small glass vials and perform fine visual/manual work.
• Good personal hygiene is essential for this GMP-regulated environment.
• Strong commitment to following established procedures and quality requirements.
