Who we are:

Pelsue is the industry leader in manufacturing worker safety products and vehicles for the telephone, utility, and construction industries. We have multiple production areas in the Industrial Safety Value Stream, including the Tent Shop, Ventilation Assembly, and Fall Arrest Assembly. Born and based in Colorado, our facilities are in Aurora, Colorado.

Who you are:
As a Quality Control professional at Pelsue, you are methodical, detail-oriented, and proactive in identifying and resolving quality issues. Whether inspecting metal-fabricated parts, checking electrical assemblies in vehicles, or reviewing final product conformity, you ensure that Pelsue's products remain safe, reliable, and compliant. You take ownership of quality throughout the production process and demonstrate discipline in upholding standards, documenting findings, and driving continuous improvement.

• Perform receiving inspections of supplier components, verifying dimensions, certifications, material traceability, and conformance to specifications and drawings.
• Inspect in-house fabricated parts, including welded assemblies, turret-punched parts, CNC‑machined components, and press/brake‑formed parts for dimensional accuracy and workmanship.
• Validate critical‑to‑quality features, including edge quality, hole size and true position, bend angles/radii, weld size/length/continuity, and surface condition.
• Verify component kits and staging are complete and correct prior to release to assembly.
• Prepare and package components for shipment to suppliers for post‑manufacturing processing; select appropriate dunnage, labeling, and documentation to protect product in transit.

• Contain and quarantine non‑conforming components; prevent flow to downstream operations.
• Confirm component readiness for integration by checking fit features, hardware, and revision status against the drawing and BOM.

• Accurately record inspection results, lot acceptance, and nonconformance reports (NCRs) in the ERP/QMS.
• Accurately document findings, NCRs, and test results; articulate what is missing or out of standard using engineering design intent, specifications, and applicable industry practices.
• Recommend corrective actions at the component/fabrication level (e.g., weld prep change, edge deburr requirement, turret program or tool change, bend allowance correction, supplier part substitution to spec) and verify effectiveness after rework.
• Provide clear feedback for supplier scorecards and internal fabrication quality metrics.

• Uphold safe practices when handling materials and working near fabrication equipment.
• Hold a valid forklift certification (or obtain within the onboarding window); safely operate forklifts and material handling equipment to move, stage, load, and unload product.
• Apply safe packaging and shipping practices for inbound and outbound supplier shipments.
• Collaborate with Fabrication, Supply Chain, and Engineering to close component quality gaps through specification clarity, process adjustments, or supplier corrective action.
• Serve as the technical point of contact for component and fabrication quality.

• Inspect electro‑mechanical assemblies and sub‑assemblies for conformance to drawings, bills of materials, and work instructions, including fit, alignment, hardware grade/length, and torque verification.
• Verify electrical integrity at the assembly level: correct wire gauge and insulation type; circuit protection selection and ratings (fuses/breakers); termination/crimp quality; polarity; continuity; insulation resistance; grounding/bonding; harness strain relief and routing.
• Confirm labeling, identification, and traceability (wire/cable IDs, panel labels, revision status) meet…
