You will oversee product inspection and quality processes, lead nonconformance and corrective action activities, support our ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 management systems, and contribute to workplace health and safety initiatives.

You will also provide technical and day-to-day leadership to our QC Inspectors and work closely with Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain and Service to ensure our products and processes meet applicable quality, safety and customer requirements.

In this role, you will:

• Lead incoming, first article, in-process and final inspection activities, including reviewing technical documentation, witnessing Factory Acceptance Testing and releasing finished product.
• Manage internal and supplier nonconformances, including NCRs, MRB disposition and Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCARs).

• Plan and conduct internal audits against ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018, while supporting external registrar and customer audits.
• Administer the calibration and measurement/test equipment program, including calibration recall, out-of-tolerance reviews and gauge R&R studies.
• Maintain product traceability and accurate, audit-ready quality records.

• Support the ongoing maintenance and improvement of quality and occupational health and safety policies, procedures and systems.
• Respond to customer quality concerns, implementing containment, root cause analysis and corrective actions as required.
• Supervise and support QC Inspectors by assigning priorities, providing technical guidance, reviewing inspection records, supporting training and managing day-to-day team administration.
• Track and report key quality and safety metrics, open NCRs and CAPAs, audit findings and inspection activity to management.
