What We Are Looking For We are looking for a hands-on quality professional who is comfortable working directly with the manufacturing team.

You should be comfortable asking:

“Does it meet the drawing?”

“Does it meet the customer specification?”

“If it doesn't, why?”

“And what do we need to do to prevent it from happening again?”

What We Offer

- Opportunity to work on large and complex industrial machinery and components.
- A hands-on role within a large-capacity fabrication and machine shop.
- Exposure to fabrication, machining, welding, assembly, and industrial equipment manufacturing.
- Chance to make a direct impact on quality and production performance.
- Competitive compensation based on experience.

Apply Today If you are an experienced Quality Assurance / Quality Control professional who takes pride in accuracy, problem-solving, and delivering high-quality manufactured products, we would like to hear from you.
