Maintenance Repairer

Position Summary

The Quality Gage Technician is responsible for the day-to-day operation of Acme’s gage room and for ensuring that production has the calibrated, functioning measurement tools it needs — when it needs them. This role is the backbone of Acme’s measurement system: if a gage is out of calibration, late to the floor, or not functioning properly, production and quality both suffer.

The right person is detail-oriented, methodical, and takes genuine pride in the accuracy and reliability of the tools they manage. This role works directly with Quality, Engineering, and production teams across both shifts and is a critical part of Acme’s ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D quality management system.
