Quality Control Inspector III - 3rd Shift

Overview

The QC Inspector Lead is an experienced quality inspection role responsible for performing incoming and in-process inspections while serving as the primary quality point of contact outside of active production rooms. This role provides day-to-day inspection execution equivalent to a QC Inspector II, with expanded responsibility for cross‑functional coordination, issue escalation, and inspection readiness support.

The QC Inspector Lead is also trained as a backup to QC Supervisors and is qualified to support inside‑room quality expectations as needed, including cleanroom gowning verification, production setup checks, batch record audit support, and procedural compliance monitoring. This role does not have direct supervisory authority but provides functional leadership, continuity, and coverage to ensure inspection execution and quality presence are maintained across operations.
