  • Oversee non-conforming material processes, including quarantine, documentation, and disposition.
  • Collaborate with logistics and supply chain teams to ensure quality standards are maintained throughout receiving, handling, and delivery processes.

Continuous Improvement & Reporting:

  • Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective/preventive actions to improve product and process performance.
  • Track and report key quality metrics, trends, and improvement opportunities.
  • Contribute to cross-functional initiatives focused on operational excellence and process optimization.

  • Proven ability to operate in a customer-facing role, balancing technical expertise with strong communication skills.
  • Comfortable working in a hands-on environment, including warehouse, production, or field settings.
  • Ability to travel occasionally for customer and supplier interactions.
  • Background supporting construction equipment, machinery, or metal-based manufacturing processes (machining, fabrication, assembly, finishing, etc.).
