Quality Control Supervisor

You’re the one if you... hold a degree in Engineering or related fields, with real hours spent on a production floor and not just a lab or an office. run incoming, in-process, and outgoing inspection across the full cycle, without needing to be walked through it each time.

read a defect trend early enough to stop it from becoming a rejection wave, and know which data points actually matter. have built inspection checklists, SOPs, or quality documentation from scratch and not just followed what was already there. can push back on production when the numbers don't match, firmly and clearly, without burning the relationship.

know how to open a CAPA, trace it to root cause, and close it without leaving loose ends or reopening the same issue. have led or coached junior inspectors and understand that supervising means developing people, not just checking their work. speak the language of standards, whether ISO 9001, AQL, or equivalent, and apply them on the floor and not just in documentation.

have exposure to supplier quality management, from evaluating incoming material standards to coordinating with vendors on non-conformances and knowing when to escalate before it hits the line. can represent quality in cross-functional discussions and translate technical findings into decisions the team can act on.
