Job description

2nd shift Quality Inspector | Manitowoc Pattern & Machining

Location: 1445 Dufek Drive, Manitowoc, WI

If you’re the kind of person who notices when something is off by a hair… who double-checks measurements because “close enough” isn’t good enough… we want you on our team.

We’re looking for a Quality Inspector who takes pride in catching issues before they become problems and thrives in a hands-on machining environment.

This newly added role is available during:

  • 2nd shift | Monday – Thursday (10-hour shift), 3 pm – 1 am

Where You Make an Impact

You won’t just be checking boxes—you’ll be protecting our product quality and reputation.

  • Perform hourly surface finish checks to ensure parts meet spec
  • Conduct in-process inspections during production runs
  • Accurately complete inspection check sheets (attention to detail matters here)
  • Use precision measuring tools and gauges with confidence
  • Identify quality concerns early and work closely with production teams to solve them
  • Help maintain compliance with ISO 9001 & IATF 16949 standards
  • Support continuous improvement

What You Bring

  • High School diploma or equivalent
  • Experience using gages and measuring tools
  • Understanding of surface finish inspection
  • Basic knowledge of quality systems (ISO 9001 / IATF 16949)
  • A sharp eye, steady hands, and a mindset that says: “let’s get it right the first time”

Who You Are

  • Detail-obsessed (in a good way)
  • Organized and accurate with documentation
  • Comfortable speaking up when something isn’t right
  • A team player who works well with operators and supervisors
  • Someone who takes ownership of quality—not just responsibility

You are the last line of defense between a good part and a great one. If you take pride in precision and want to be part of a team that values doing things right, we’d love to hear from you.
