About Re:Build Composite Resources

Composite Resources, a Re:Build Manufacturing company, is an innovative, rapidly growing manufacturer of composite components and tooling located in Rock Hill, SC. Our constantly evolving portfolio of projects includes parts and assemblies for clients in the aerospace and defense industries. At Composite Resources, we embrace a culture defined by teamwork, ownership, and accountability.

Who We Are Looking For

Composite Resources is looking for a strategic, hands-on Quality leader ready to build a quality function from the ground up during a period of significant growth. You've successfully led a facility or special process through NADCAP certification before and know what it takes to go from readiness assessment to accreditation. You're comfortable operating at the executive level — shaping strategy and reporting directly to the President — while still rolling up your sleeves to solve problems on the floor.

You bring experience in quality systems, APQP, and Lean/Six Sigma in manufacturing, ideally within composites or aerospace. You're energized by the challenge of building a quality strategy that works for both a fast-moving, high-mix prototyping operation and a higher-volume, cost-disciplined production site — with the opportunity to build your own team and establish quality as a true competitive advantage.

What You Get To Do

• Lead the organization's achievement of NADCAP certification at the new site — owning the roadmap, readiness assessments, gap closure, audit prep, and accreditation.
• Build and lead a growing Quality team to support expansion across two facilities over the next five years.
• Define a culture of quality and set department goals aligned with company objectives.
• Implement and maintain AS9100, ISO, NADCAP, and other aerospace/composites certifications, including internal, compliance, and supplier audits.
• Architect quality strategies tailored to two environments — balancing fast-paced prototyping with cost-efficient, higher-volume production.
• Partner with other departments to plan, implement, and improve quality programs supporting business goals.
• Track quality metrics and turn data/trends into improvement actions with cross-functional teams.
• Apply SPC, analytics, AI tools, and Lean/A3 problem-solving to drive process improvement and error prevention.
• Engage with customers on gate reviews, documentation, deviation approvals, engineering changes, and part quality concerns.
• Ensure timely completion of quality documentation (ballooned drawings, PFMEAs, control plans, capability studies, etc.).

What You Bring To The Team

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Quality Systems, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• Hands-on experience successfully achieving NADCAP certification for a site or special process.
• 5+ years in Quality Systems, APQP, Lean/Six Sigma, and large-scale project management in manufacturing.
• 2+ years in a leadership role, with proven success building and developing a quality team.
• Strong knowledge of AS9100 and NADCAP requirements.
• Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills; ability to drive change with minimal direction.
• Ability to communicate quality objectives/requirements effectively and negotiate with customers and vendors.
• Willingness to work flexibly, including occasional travel between facilities.

Strongly Preferred:

• Composites and aerospace manufacturing experience, including both prototype and high-volume environments.
• Familiarity with ISO9000, ISO13485, and ITAR.
• Knowledge of gauging, metrology, and CMM programming/software.
• Experience leveraging AI and technology to improve quality efficiency.

The base salary range for this position is $116,616 – $174,924.75 per year. This range represents the Company’s good faith estimate of the base compensation for this role at the time of posting. Actual compensation will be determined based on several factors, including but not limited to relevant experience, skills, qualifications, internal equity, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for annual incentive compensation and/or long-term incentives, subject to Company plans. The Company offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, retirement, paid time off, and other benefits.
