What are the responsibilities and job description for the 2nd Shift Quality Inspector position at WISCONSIN ALUMINUM FOUNDRY MASTER?
2nd shift Quality Inspector | Manitowoc Pattern & Machining
Location: 1445 Dufek Drive, Manitowoc, WI
If you’re the kind of person who notices when something is off by a hair… who double-checks measurements because “close enough” isn’t good enough… we want you on our team.
We’re looking for a Quality Inspector who takes pride in catching issues before they become problems and thrives in a hands-on machining environment.
This newly added role is available during:
- 2nd shift | Monday – Thursday (10-hour shift), 3 pm – 1 am
Where You Make an Impact
You won’t just be checking boxes—you’ll be protecting our product quality and reputation.
- Perform hourly surface finish checks to ensure parts meet spec
- Conduct in-process inspections during production runs
- Accurately complete inspection check sheets (attention to detail matters here)
- Use precision measuring tools and gauges with confidence
- Identify quality concerns early and work closely with production teams to solve them
- Help maintain compliance with ISO 9001 & IATF 16949 standards
- Support continuous improvement
What You Bring
- High School diploma or equivalent
- Experience using gages and measuring tools
- Understanding of surface finish inspection
- Basic knowledge of quality systems (ISO 9001 / IATF 16949)
- A sharp eye, steady hands, and a mindset that says: “let’s get it right the first time”
Who You Are
- Detail-obsessed (in a good way)
- Organized and accurate with documentation
- Comfortable speaking up when something isn’t right
- A team player who works well with operators and supervisors
- Someone who takes ownership of quality—not just responsibility
You are the last line of defense between a good part and a great one. If you take pride in precision and want to be part of a team that values doing things right, we’d love to hear from you.
