Job description

Description

Position Summary:

The Site Manager in Training (MIT) is a direct-entry management development role at Team Quality Services. This is not a traditional entry-level position. It is a structured training program designed to produce fully autonomous TQS Site Managers. The MIT begins the program training in the role of a Field Quality Associate (FQA) and, over the course of the program, progressively learns and takes on Site Manager responsibilities through shadowing and supporting the Site Manager at live TQS service locations, rotating across the network under the mentorship of an assigned Regional Manager. Upon successful completion of the program, the MIT is designated as a qualified Site Manager. They become eligible for assignment to a permanent TQS service location based on business needs and the availability of an open Site Manager position.

This is a probationary and training role for employees that have satisfied pre-requisites to become a Site Manager. While in the Site Manager in Training role, employees will be required to develop and demonstrate the necessary skills to become a Site Manager. This includes:

• Attending, completing, and participating in assigned training sessions to develop leadership and management skills necessary for the Site Manager role.
• Meeting key performance checkpoints throughout the training journey, which may include written assessments and practical skills application evaluations.
• Demonstrating competence, proficiency, and effectiveness in completing the Essential Duties & Responsibilities duties listed below.

Employees in this role must keep current with all training requirements and meet all performance milestones to remain in this role and in the training program.

About the MIT Program:

The MIT program is a field-based development track that typically lasts 12 months. MITs are not office-based - they are deployed to live TQS service locations across North America from the start of the program. The work is real, the accountability is real, and the career path is direct.

Successful completion of the program results in designation as a Site Manager and eligibility for assignment to a permanent TQS service location. Assignment timing and location are based on business needs and the availability of an open Site Manager position.

What to expect: MITs will travel frequently and may spend multiple consecutive weeks at service locations throughout the program, work across multiple states, and be embedded in active manufacturing environments from day one. The MIT program is not designed for someone who wants a desk and a defined territory. It is designed for someone who wants to own something within a year.

Work Location & Mobility Expectations

• The MIT role is a field-based training position. This role requires extensive travel and temporary assignment to multiple TQS service locations throughout the program.
• This is a
