What does a quality auditor do?

As a quality auditor, your main duties are to inspect a product or system to ensure that it meets the set specifications and standards, write audit reports and assessments, and develop quality control monitoring protocols. Your responsibilities depend on the specifics of your job. Some quality auditors are only responsible for checking a specific element of a product, such as consumer safety or standards compliance. For example, a sorter separates materials, such as fabrics, by color, size, or fabric type. A sample, on the other hand, may monitor a large batch product, such as paint, to ensure there are no defects in the run.
