Job description

A day in the life

You start your shift by syncing with Operations, Continuous Improvement, and Engineering to review any overnight non-conformances. A production event pops up—per SOPs, you outline the plan of action for floor inspectors, launch a structured investigation, and document findings. Before lunch, you meet with QSS team members and the Skills and Knowledge department to refine a training assessment, analyze test data, and target follow-ups. In the afternoon, you facilitate MRP Solutions Commitments and Effectiveness Checks—initiating, tracking, trending, and closing actions—while keeping the Quality Manager in the loop. You round out your day leading a quick 5S blitz, consulting with a supplier on spec alignment, and performing hands-on inspections and SPC checks.
