Quality Control Coordinator

SUMMARY

Hands-on quality role supporting an established industrial manufacturing operation. This position works across quality, production, engineering, suppliers, and customer-facing teams to maintain quality standards, resolve product and process issues, and support continuous improvement. Ideal for a quality professional who enjoys a mix of documentation, problem-solving, auditing, and shop-floor collaboration.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Maintain quality procedures, work instructions, control plans, and supporting documentation used throughout manufacturing operations.
• Coordinate investigation and resolution of supplier, material, production, and customer quality concerns.
• Support nonconformance, root cause, corrective action, and preventive action processes to reduce repeat issues.
• Prepare and review manufacturing quality documentation such as first article records, production approval packages, corrective action reports, inspection documentation, and performance metrics.
• Partner with production and engineering teams to address drawing requirements, visual standards, setup verification, and product quality concerns.
• Monitor quality trends and key performance indicators to identify recurring issues and improvement opportunities.
• Support internal, customer, supplier, and quality-system audits and help maintain audit-ready records.

• Provide guidance and training on quality processes while promoting consistent quality practices across departments.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Quality-focused education, technical training, or recognized quality/manufacturing certificate preferred.
• Prior Quality Assurance and/or Quality Control experience within industrial manufacturing; candidates from food or pharmaceutical manufacturing alone are not the target background.
• Hands-on experience with APQP, PPAP, FAI, root cause analysis, and CAPA.
• Comfort preparing, reviewing, and maintaining detailed manufacturing quality and inspection documentation.
• Working knowledge of quality management systems; ISO 9001 exposure is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving, organization, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.
• Comfort working onsite in a hands-on manufacturing environment.

BENEFITS

• Opportunity to take ownership of a broad mix of quality activities rather than being limited to one narrow function.
• Hands-on exposure to recognized manufacturing quality tools including APQP, PPAP, FAI, RCA, CAPA, and audit processes.
• Cross-functional visibility with production, engineering, suppliers, and customer-facing teams.
• Opportunity to contribute directly to product quality, process improvements, and stronger manufacturing practices.
• Consistent daytime schedule in an established industrial manufacturing environment.
• Potential for a long-term career opportunity based on performance and business needs.
