Position Summary

The Quality Supervisor is a hands-on, shop-floor–focused role responsible for ensuring product quality within machine shop and sheet metal fabrication operations. This position works directly with machinists, fabricators, welders, and production leadership to prevent defects, maintain process control, and support efficient manufacturing execution.

The role requires a strong understanding of machining and fabrication processes, the ability to interpret engineering drawings and models, and working knowledge of quality systems and tools.
