Quality Manager

Description

If “good enough” makes you twitch, keep reading.

We’re looking for a

who knows how to build systems that hold up in the real world, on the shop floor, with suppliers, and under audit pressure. This role owns quality end-to-end and has the authority to fix what’s broken, not just document it.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a precision manufacturing environment. You’ll set the standard, hold the line, and drive continuous improvement that actually sticks.

- Own and continuously improve the Quality Management System (ISO 9001 and beyond).

- Develop, implement, and maintain QA procedures that meet customer, regulatory, and internal standards.

- Oversee inspection and testing of incoming materials, in-process builds, and finished products.

- Analyze defects, trends, and failures and then lead corrective and preventive actions.

- Lead internal audits and support external audits with confidence (and clean data).

- Partner with suppliers to improve incoming quality and resolve issues fast.

- Address customer quality issues head-on and ensure they don’t repeat.

- Train and coach teams on quality standards, tools, and best practices.

- Maintain accurate, audit-ready quality records and reporting.

- Drive continuous improvement initiatives that reduce defects and improve manufacturing efficiency.

Requirements

What You Bring

- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Quality, or a related field (preferred). - 5+ years of quality assurance experience in a precision manufacturing environment.

- Deep understanding of ISO 9001 and practical audit experience.

- Proven track record of implementing change and delivering results.

- Strong analytical skills, you know how to find root cause, not just symptoms.

- Clear, confident communicator who can influence across functions.

- Comfortable with quality management systems and tools.

- Proficient in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word (data matters here).

Work Environment

- Manufacturing-based role, this isn’t a desk-only job.

- Must be able to lift up to 30 lbs, with or without assistance.

- Regular interaction with operators, engineers, leadership, suppliers, and external auditors.

Why This Role Matters

Quality isn’t a support function here, it’s a core business driver. You’ll have visibility, ownership, and the runway to make real improvements that impact customers, cost, and credibility.

If you’re ready to own quality instead of chasing it, we want to talk.
