Quality Control Lead

Quality Control Lead

Earth Breeze is seeking a Quality Control (QC) Lead to help ensure the quality, safety, and consistency of our products, while also providing hands on leadership, training, and guidance to our QC Technicians on the floor. This role is ideal for someone who is highly detail-oriented, analytical, and dependable. Someone who takes pride in maintaining high standards and who will coach and mentor the people around them. You'll thrive in this position if you're comfortable working independently, guiding others, and speaking up when something needs attention. As a QC Lead reporting to the QC Supervisor, you'll work side by side with the QC Techs in the quality lab and out on the production floor to make sure procedures are being performed correctly and consistently, and that the team is properly trained. You'll perform key quality checks yourself, which include viscosity, pH, stir plate, and moisture testing, while also assessing how the rest of the team is executing their duties, coaching them in real time and identifying trends that need to be communicated to the QA Supervisor.
