Job Description

What you’ll do

Step onto our production floor where trailers take shape, and champion quality from the first sub-assembly to the final unit rolling off the line. You’ll interpret engineering drawings and company/customer specifications, then put parts, sub-assemblies, and completed trailers to the test—verifying they meet exacting standards and documenting outcomes with precision.

• Confirm that components and builds align with drawings, standards, and specifications for both company and customer requirements.
• Record pass/fail decisions, sign off on appropriate forms, and clearly capture reasons for any nonconformance.
• Support management in driving corrective actions when acceptance, reliability, or quality thresholds are not met.
• Communicate promptly with assembly line managers about out-of-spec conditions—especially recurring issues that appear on more than one unit.
• Maintain daily “off-the-line” status reports for all units exiting sub-assembly and final assembly.
• Provide ongoing product quality appraisals to leaders whose teams directly shape the finished trailer.
• Work safely, efficiently, and productively while following company policies and procedures; contribute to a collaborative, quality-first culture.
