The right candidate for this role will have experience writing work instructions, managing continuous improvement projects, and conducting quality audits. This client has some major continuous improvement projects coming down the pipeline in the next few years, so this is a great time to join their team! This is a great opportunity to learn from industry experts and work under a leader who will not micromanage you.

• Quality Checks on the floor
• Improving work instructions and looking for ways to improve processes
• Collaborating with the corporate design team, who controls their design and quality requirements - once a month meeting with that team at present
• Catching them up on their backlog of SOPs and work instructions that need to be reviewed, potentially revised, or overhauled

Experience Required:

• Hands-on quality and continuous improvement experience
• Experience writing work instructions and SOPs
• Preference for someone with a Six Sigma belt

Soft Skills:

• Driven
• Able to work with autonomy
• Personable
• Able to prioritize independently
