Base Pay Range

$25.00/hr - $30.00/hr

Our client is a well-established leader in metal‑forming and precision manufacturing, dedicated to serving customers’ evolving requirements with high integrity and technical excellence. With decades of experience delivering custom solutions, the organization has built a reputation for reliability, responsiveness, and quality.

They partner with clients across industries to design, fabricate, and deliver components/assemblies that meet tight tolerances, regulatory expectations, and performance demands. Their culture is built on continuous improvement, collaboration, and a commitment to the highest standards of workmanship and customer satisfaction.

You’ll play a hands‑on role in assuring quality across the production process, influencing product performance, and helping prevent defects before they reach customers.

Because they operate in a technically challenging domain (metal forming, precision components, etc.), you will gain exposure to advanced measurement tools, quality systems, root‑cause analysis, and industry best practices. Training, certifications, and continuing education are encouraged.

You will work alongside cross‑functional teams—engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and leadership—in a culture that values open communication, feedback, and mutual respect.

The company has a long track record in the industry and serves clients who demand high reliability. That gives stability to its operations and provides opportunities for advancement as projects and customer demands evolve.

They believe in Kaizen‑style improvement identifying inefficiencies, reducing waste, improving processes, and tracking metrics. Your input in process improvements will be valued and can lead to real changes.

While specifics will depend on level, you can expect competitive pay, benefits (health, PTO, etc.), and performance‑based incentives in line with industry norms for a quality role in manufacturing.

• Perform in‑process inspections, first‑article inspections (FAI), and final inspections of components or assemblies using measurement instruments (calipers, micrometers, CMM, gauges, etc.).
• Analyze inspection data, maintain quality records, and prepare reports on quality audits, trends, and nonconformances.
• Identify, document, and help drive root‑cause investigations for defects, nonconformances, and process deviations.
• Work with manufacturing, engineering, and production teams to implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Assist in developing and maintaining control plans, inspection procedures, work instructions, and quality checklists.
• Support internal and external audits (ISO, customer, supplier audits), ensuring compliance with standards and requirements.
• Use statistical process control (SPC) tools, capability studies, measurement system analysis (MSA), and other quality tools to monitor and improve process stability.
• Participate in continuous improvement projects (lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen) to reduce scrap, rework, and cost, and improve throughput and yield.
• Support supplier quality assurance, including incoming inspection, supplier audits, and corrective actions for supplier nonconformances.
• Provide training and coaching to technicians/operators on inspection methods, quality awareness, and defect prevention.

• Associate degree or technical certificate in quality, mechanical, manufacturing, engineering, or related field (or equivalent work experience).
• Demonstrated experience (2–5 years) in a quality role within manufacturing (preferably precision, metal‑forming, or similar fields).
• Proficiency with precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, comparators) and familiarity with CMM or other automated measurement systems.
• Understanding of quality principles and methodologies (SPC, MSA, root cause analysis, 8D, FMEA).
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T symbols, and…
