A growing precision aerospace manufacturer is seeking an experienced Quality Control Manager to lead site level quality execution in a machining focused environment. This is a hands on leadership role for someone who can strengthen AS9100 and ISO 9001 compliance, mature the QMS, and serve as the primary quality authority on site. The role supports a fast paced, private equity backed environment where ownership, responsiveness, and practical problem solving matter.

  • Experience with AS9100 and ISO 9001 systems, procedures, and audit expectations. NADCAP exposure strongly preferred.
  • Stable career history. Short stints and gaps are acceptable when clearly explainable, and the client will expect a clear narrative.

Quality Control Manager What You Will Do

  • Lead and develop a high performance quality team including inspectors, technicians, and quality engineers.
  • Own site level AS9100 and ISO 9001 activity including audits, documentation, corrective actions, and customer quality support.
  • Manage product and process quality strategy to ensure conformance to customer and regulatory requirements in a precision machining operation.
  • Support customer needs including SCARs, source inspections, FAIR coordination, PPAP support where applicable, and customer audits.
  • Drive containment, MRB, root cause, corrective actions, and verification of effectiveness to reduce escapes and improve first pass yield.
  • Maintain QMS documentation including procedures, work instructions, and controlled documents.
  • Partner closely with site leadership to strengthen culture, execution, and quality performance.

Quality Control Manager Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive base salary with flexibility based on experience, plus performance based bonus opportunity.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401k with employer match.
  • Paid time off and paid holidays.
  • Company paid life and AD and D insurance.
