If you spotted an out-of-spec weld showing up on more than one unit, would you trace it back to the source, document it clearly, and help trigger corrective action before a single trailer ships? If that sounds like you, read on.

The challenge

Guard the integrity of our trailers by ensuring parts, sub-assemblies, and final builds meet all quality assurance standards, engineering drawings, and customer specifications.

How you will tackle it

  • Be present on the line and in sub-assembly zones to monitor designated checkpoints set by the Quality Assurance Manager.
  • Use the right tool for the right test: brake test machine, light tester, man lift, bumper jack, ABS tester, wrenches, and a tape measure.
  • Compare results against drawings and standards; decide accept or reject and record each decision with your identifier and a clear reason for any rejection.
  • Collaborate with management to initiate corrective actions when acceptance or reliability standards are not being met.
  • Alert assembly line managers to out-of-spec trends, particularly when the issue appears on multiple units.
  • Produce daily off-the-line status reports for all units exiting sub-assembly and final assembly.
  • Deliver ongoing quality appraisals to leaders whose teams influence the final unit’s physical outcome.
  • Work safely and productively; support team goals; follow company policies; other duties as assigned. Maintain excellent attendance and be willing to work mandatory overtime.

What you bring to the floor

  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Mandatory FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) test with biennial re-certification.
  • Hands-on experience in quality inspection and quality control.
  • Basic computer proficiency; fluent English (spoken and written). Bilingual capability is a plus.
  • Clear communicator who works well with manufacturing hourly employees and leaders at every level.
  • Mindset: detail-oriented, motivated, and organized.

How we set you up to win

  • Structured orientation.
  • Training on trailer specifications, engineering drawings, and QA checking procedures.
  • Instruction on the use of measuring and test equipment relevant to your inspections.
  • As needed, training for Utility or Golf Carts and Aerial Lifts (Genie, Wave, Manlifts).
