If you are the type of leader who prefers solving problems where they happen (not from behind a desk) this role offers the visibility, ownership, and influence to make a measurable impact every day.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of quality experience in a manufacturing environment
• 2+ years of leadership, lead, or supervisory experience

• Ability to lift up to 30–35 pounds as needed

• Continuous improvement methodologies (TPS/Lean a plus)

This is a hands-on production floor leadership role in a manufacturing environment. The position requires regular standing, walking, and direct engagement with production teams. This is an ideal fit for leaders who prefer being actively involved in operations rather than working in a purely administrative quality role.
