Job Title: Quality Control & Safety Manager

Job Description

The Quality Control & Safety Manager oversees the quality of industrial products received from vendors and ensures all products comply with relevant regulatory and chemical compliance requirements. This role manages and works alongside a Quality Technician to perform inspections, drives a strong culture of quality and safety across the warehouse, and completes required safety and incident reports. The position is hands-on within a distribution environment and offers clear growth potential into engineering or mid-management roles, including broader responsibility for multiple facilities. This is a great opportunity for someone who is an established Quality Technician and ready to take on more responsibility.

Responsibilities

• Oversee and maintain the quality of products received from vendors, ensuring they meet internal standards and legal compliance requirements.
• Perform and supervise inspection activities, working side-by-side with the Quality Technician on the warehouse floor.
• Complete and manage regulatory compliance documentation, including forms for REACH, RoHS, CMRT, PFAS, Prop 65, TSCA, and USMCA chemical compliance.
• Ensure all quality control processes align with applicable state regulations and client documentation requirements.
• Create, promote, and lead a strong culture of quality and safety for all employees, particularly in the warehouse environment.
• Support and participate in warehouse safety initiatives, including safety training and adherence to OSHA and EHS guidelines.
• Prepare and submit smaller safety reports, incident reports, and investigations, complementing annual safety and OSHA reporting handled by the parent organization.
• Coordinate and support corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) and return material authorization (RMA) processes to address quality issues.
• Document, track, and follow up on corrective action plans to prevent recurrence of quality or safety incidents.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and clients to complete compliance forms and respond to quality-related inquiries.
• Leverage safety committee experience to contribute to continuous improvement in safety procedures and training.
• Adapt to and respect the existing company culture, taking time to understand current processes before recommending improvements.
• Contribute to long-term quality strategy with the potential to expand responsibilities to multiple facilities as the role grows.

Essential Skills

• 2–5+ years of experience in quality control or quality assurance at a technician and/or supervisory level.
• Hands-on experience in quality inspection within an industrial or distribution environment.
• Experience with safety programs, including participation on a safety committee.
• Working knowledge of regulatory and chemical compliance requirements such as REACH, RoHS, CMRT, PFAS, Prop 65, TSCA, and USMCA.
• Experience completing compliance forms and documentation for clients and state regulatory requirements.
• Familiarity with OSHA and environmental health and safety (EHS) practices.
• Experience with RMA (Return Material Authorization) processes.
• Experience with CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) and corrective action plans.
• Ability to lead and influence a culture of quality and safety among warehouse and floor personnel.
• Strong attention to detail and documentation skills for incident reports, investigations, and compliance forms.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• ASQ certification preferred (such as ASQ Certified Quality Technician or similar).
• Experience with ASQ methodologies and quality best practices.
• Experience in safety training and EHS initiatives.
• Experience with RoHS and other chemical compliance programs.
• Interest in growing into an engineering or mid-management role over time.

Work Environment

This role is based in a distribution facility with a strongly hands-on focus. The Quality Control & Safety Manager spends significant time on the warehouse floor working directly with the Quality Technician and labor teams, inspecting industrial hoses and fittings and supporting day-to-day operations. The environment emphasizes safety, with structured safety video training and support from the parent organization for major annual safety and OSHA reporting. The company culture is small and tight-knit, with many long-tenured employees and a collaborative atmosphere. The role offers support for professional growth, including opportunities to progress into engineering or mid-management positions and potentially oversee quality for multiple facilities.
