This role offers the opportunity to apply your inspection and code expertise while supporting manufacturers throughout your assigned territory. You'll spend much of your time visiting local manufacturing facilities, building strong relationships with customers, and ensuring products meet the highest standards for quality and code compliance.

As a Quality Inspector, you will:

• Conduct quality assurance audits and inspections at manufacturing facilities within your assigned territory.
• Evaluate manufacturer quality control programs and verify compliance with applicable building codes, certification procedures, and approved plans.
• Review production records, inspection documentation, and quality management systems.
• Identify non-conformances, recommend corrective actions, and verify their completion.
• Prepare detailed audit reports and communicate findings with manufacturer leadership.
• Build trusted relationships with customers by providing technical guidance and maintaining consistent communication.
• Stay current on International Codes, industry standards, and certification requirements.
• Travel regularly throughout your local territory, with occasional overnight travel (up to approximately 25%).

Qualifications

• Minimum two years of experience in commercial construction, code enforcement, quality assurance, building inspection, or a related field.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Strong attention to detail and analytical problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to work independently while effectively managing multiple projects.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office.
• Valid driver's license with the ability to travel regularly within an assigned territory and up to 25% overnight.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with modular, manufactured, or off-site construction.
• Experience auditing quality management systems.
• Additional ICC certifications.
• HUD or third-party inspection experience.

Why Join our team

You will join a team of respected code professionals committed to improving the safety and quality of construction across North America. As part of NFPA Global Solutions, you'll have the opportunity to work with leading manufacturers while continuing to grow your technical expertise.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) with company match

• Company-provided technology and resources
• A collaborative, team-oriented culture
