A Day in This Role

You arrive on the production floor with one goal: make outstanding quality the standard. You begin by reviewing overnight quality concerns, then move to the lab to calibrate monitoring and measuring devices, ensuring accuracy for the day’s inspections. On the line, you verify product dimensions, examine surfaces for defects like cracks, pits, and incomplete welds, and run mechanical and non-destructive tests to confirm compliance with specifications.

As production ramps up, you partner with Operations and Quality colleagues to troubleshoot issues. You collect and analyze data, recommend corrective actions, and help implement process controls that reduce scrap, save material, and raise productivity. Where product doesn’t meet standards, you identify, quarantine, and communicate non-conformances immediately. Throughout the shift, you lead by example—training operators on quality controls and reinforcing best practices to build capability across the plant.

What You’ll Do

• Drive problem-solving to cut scrap, reduce material usage, and boost capability and throughput.
• Address daily quality questions; provide timely, informed recommendations.
• Inspect and test product against defined parameters; verify critical dimensions and visual quality.
• Evaluate testing, inspection, and operational procedures; create or revise quality plans and systems as needed.
• Troubleshoot manufacturing and quality issues; investigate, collect data, analyze trends, and implement corrective actions.
• Ensure process controls are in place and sufficient to meet standards.
• Maintain accuracy and on-time inspection/calibration of monitoring and measuring devices.
• Identify, quarantine, and communicate any non-conforming product.
• Check for surface defects (e.g., cracks, pits, incomplete welds) and dimensional conformity.
• Lead training in quality control and operations; perform other related duties as assigned.

What You Bring

• Ability to rally a shared vision aligned to business goals and drive continuous change to meet long-term objectives.
• Strength in diagnosing complex business/technical issues and delivering practical technical solutions.

• Self-starter with a history of taking initiative and following through.
• Knowledge of applicable safety policies and procedures for plant operations.
• Computer proficiency: Excel, Word, Outlook, and SAP.
• Above-average math and reasoning; ability to add, subtract, multiply, and divide using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
• Hands-on skill with micrometers, dial indicators, calipers, and OD tapes; capable of mechanical testing.
• Ability to lift product, materials, and equipment as needed; read and write in English.
• High School diploma/GED and proven manufacturing experience.
