Quality Technician 2nd Shift

Quality Technician

A growing precision manufacturer is adding a Quality Technician to its second-shift team. This role is ideal for someone who has hands-on inspection experience, understands precision-manufactured parts, and is the person who notices when something is off before it becomes a bigger problem. You'll perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections while working with precision measuring equipment, blueprints, CMMs, and quality documentation. This is an addition to the quality team, and the company is open to both developing Quality Technician I candidates and more experienced Quality Technician II-level talent.
