Build your future with DeWys.

At DeWys Manufacturing, quality is built into the work we do every day. We’re looking for a Quality Auditor who can spot issues early, help operators understand requirements, and partner with Production to get parts right the first time.

In this hands-on role, you’ll move throughout the production floor performing inspections and process audits. You’ll be a resource to operators and supervisors, helping prevent defects before products reach the next operation or our customers.

What You’ll Do

• Perform first-piece, last-piece, and in-process inspections to verify parts meet drawings, specifications, and customer requirements.
• Inspect critical dimensions, welds, hole locations, finishes, and other required features using appropriate measuring tools and gauges.
• Conduct scheduled and unscheduled audits to verify that production teams are following drawings, work instructions, inspection requirements, and quality procedures.
• Record inspection results accurately and communicate findings to operators, supervisors, and the Quality team.
• Identify and document nonconforming product, help ensure it is properly contained, and reinspect reworked parts as needed.
• Provide hands-on guidance to operators on drawings, tolerances, inspection methods, and customer-specific quality requirements.
• Help identify recurring issues and training needs, and participate in corrective action and continuous improvement activities.
• Support accurate quality records and the requirements of our ISO 9001 Quality Management System.

What You’ll Bring

• A high school diploma or equivalent.
• The ability to read and interpret blueprints, drawings, dimensions, tolerances, and technical instructions.
• Experience using precision measuring equipment, such as calipers, height gauges, and other inspection tools.
• Strong attention to detail and the confidence to speak up when something does not meet requirements.
• Clear communication skills and a helpful, respectful approach to working with production teams.
• Basic computer skills, including Microsoft Word and Excel.

Previous quality inspection experience, sheet metal fabrication experience, or familiarity with ISO 9001 is preferred.
