Are you the system thinker who turns quality intent into shop-floor reality?

If you’re energized by audits that uncover insights (not just findings), management reviews that lead to action, and documentation that truly guides behavior, you’ll thrive as our Plant Quality Assurance Leader.

Imagine this scenario

A customer metric blips. Within hours, you’ve pulled the right data, led a focused 5-Why with a cross-functional team, updated the job instruction, and verified gage calibration alignment. You present a concise update—with trend charts—to leadership, then log the corrective action and schedule a follow-up audit. That’s the cadence here.

  • Steer management review meetings grounded in timely, accurate quality data.
  • Ensure compliance and continual improvement of QMS (ISO 9001/TS 16949) and EMS (ISO 14001).
  • Run the corrective action process end-to-end, from documentation to execution monitoring.
  • Keep controlled documents current; strengthen clarity and usability.
  • Maintain and elevate our quality tracking system for real-time visibility.
  • Write and refine job instructions that lock in consistent quality.
  • Collaborate with operations and quality teams to sustain system effectiveness.
  • Conduct floor audits for compliance to job instructions and process controls.
  • Verify gaging and calibration activities meet applicable requirements.

What you’ll bring

  • Expert knowledge of TS 16949, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001.
  • Experience as a Quality Manager or Quality Engineer in a manufacturing setting.
