Due to growth, my client is adding on a complete 2nd shift in the visual quality department! This will NOT be using mics/calipers like most other quality inspection positions. This is truly just VISUAL inspection.

The leader must be willing to train on 1st shift or semi-form of 1st/2nd shift for a month or so in order to learn the position. Once on 2nd, the start time could be flexible if 2pm or 3pm roughly worked better.

• Maintain and enforce quality standards based on customer specifications, inspection criteria, and company policies.

• Collaborate with production team leads to address quality issues in real time.

• Perform root cause analysis of recurring defects and escalate major quality concerns to Quality or Production Managers.

• Assist in the implementation of corrective actions and process improvements.

• Monitor and document inspection results using check sheets, quality reports, and digital systems.

• Provide shift-to-shift communication to ensure continuity and information flow.
