• Ability to investigate problems beyond the immediate defect and determine why the issue occurred.
• Strong understanding of quality inspection and documentation processes.
• Ability to communicate quality expectations effectively with employees and leadership.
• Strong organizational, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing manufacturing environment where processes continue to evolve.
• Ability to balance production needs with quality requirements and hold teams accountable to established standards.
• Basic to intermediate computer skills for reporting, documentation, and quality tracking.
