The salary of an assembly inspector in Switzerland depends heavily on the sector in which one works – mechanical engineering, automotive supply or electronics manufacturing, for example. Professional experience and additional qualifications in testing and measurement technology also affect pay. Those who additionally take responsibility for the quality assurance of an entire team or production line can expect higher earnings. Regional differences play a role as well, since industrial companies in economically strong cantons tend to pay more. Not least, company size influences pay: larger industrial companies often offer better conditions than smaller workshops.
An assembly inspector checks, in the manufacturing and assembly industry, whether assembled components, machines and plant meet the technical specifications and quality standards. The duties include visual inspection, dimensional checks and functional testing of assembly steps as well as documenting deviations and defects. The work frequently involves close cooperation with production, quality assurance and technical support in order to identify sources of error and initiate corrective measures. The occupation calls for technical understanding, a trained eye for detail and knowledge of measurement and testing techniques. A practical technical basic training, for instance in mechanics, electrical engineering or mechanical engineering, is usually a requirement for entry.
