Jobbeschreibung

Job Description

Shape quality from the first spark of an idea to finished metal at Glenn Metalcraft Inc. Picture your morning in our Princeton, MN facility: you walk the floor, verify gauges are in calibration, and coach a technician through a tricky geometric callout. A brief stand‑up with engineering, production, and supply chain aligns quality requirements with the day’s builds. By mid‑morning, you’re reviewing SPC control charts, spotting a drift before it becomes scrap. After lunch, you deliver an engaging mini‑training on inspection tools, then jump into a Material Review Board discussion to disposition a nonconformance. Before you wrap, you finalize Initial Sample Inspection Reports and bubble drawings for a new part, and queue up accurate, on‑time Faro Arm programs where needed. It’s a day where rigor meets craft—and your impact is tangible.
