Quality Engineer

Direct-Hire Recruiter partnering with top clients nationally. Heavily focused in A/E/C, Technical Sales Engineering, Quality Engineering, Business…

A growing, well-established manufacturing operation is looking for a Quality Engineer who knows how to turn process chaos into controlled, repeatable excellence. This role sits at the center of quality, operations, and continuous improvement—and actually has the authority to make things better (imagine that).

You’ll own and evolve the Quality Management System while driving real improvements on the floor, not just in PowerPoint.

• Lead quality documentation and execution:
  PPAPs, FAIs, capability studies
• Build and track KPIs that matter (not vanity metrics)
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions using 8D (non-negotiable)
• Prepare for and support internal and external audits
• Manage calibration programs and ensure audit readiness
• Partner cross-functionally to improve processes, reduce defects, and raise the bar

• 4–5+ years in quality and/or continuous improvement within manufacturing
• Strong working knowledge of ISO 9001:2015 (audit experience a plus)
• Hands‑on experience with Lean, Six Sigma, SPC, MSA, capability studies
• Comfortable reading and interpreting engineering drawings
• Experience with ERP and QMS systems
• Background working with steel, stainless steel, or aluminum preferred

• High‑impact, hands‑on position in a fast‑moving environment
• Visibility across operations and leadership
• Relocation assistance available for Columbus, MS

If you’re the kind of Quality Engineer who fixes problems instead of documenting them to death, this one’s worth a conversation.
