RC Mowers | We’re Hiring

Quality Technician

Full-Time · Suamico, WI (On-Site)

$23.00 to $27.00 per hour

Help make sure every machine we build is ready for the field.

At RC Mowers, we build commercial mowing equipment designed for tough jobs. We’re looking for a Quality Technician who can help make sure our machines, parts, and components meet our standards before they reach customers.

This is hands-on work inspecting finished machines, checking incoming parts, and making sure outgoing shipments are right. You’ll also work with suppliers and our internal teams to address quality issues.

If you can read a blueprint, use precision measuring tools, and aren’t afraid to speak up when something isn’t right, this could be your job.

THE JOB

You’ll work in our Suamico factory, inspecting parts and machines throughout the manufacturing process.

You’ll use drawings, inspection tools, and checklists to find problems, document what you see, and work with others to get them corrected. It’s not just about catching defects. It’s about explaining what’s wrong and helping keep it from happening again.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Inspect finished machines for quality, workmanship, and accuracy before shipment
• Check incoming parts against blueprints, dimensions, and specifications
• Use dial calipers, micrometers, and other inspection tools to verify measurements
• Identify, document, and clearly communicate quality issues
• Visit suppliers as needed to review quality concerns and verify corrective actions
• Audit outgoing shipments for proper packaging and correct parts and quantities
• Maintain inspection checklists and quality documents
• Track inspection equipment and calibration records; keep the quality area organized
• Work with Purchasing on nonconforming materials
• Help identify recurring issues and support improvements
• Work with Engineering to implement new processes and audit initial production runs

WHAT THE WORK IS LIKE

• Hands-on inspections in a manufacturing environment
• A mix of shop-floor and computer work
• Daily interaction with Production, Engineering, Purchasing, and Shipping
• Occasional travel to supplier locations
• A team that expects you to notice issues and speak up

WHO FITS HERE

• You notice details others might miss and take pride in doing things right
• You’re comfortable raising concerns and explaining them professionally
• You can back up your findings with measurements and clear documentation
• You’re organized, dependable, and able to follow an issue through
• You work well with different teams and are willing to learn our machines

EXPERIENCE YOU NEED

• Strong blueprint reading skills
• Experience using dial calipers, micrometers, and other precision measuring equipment
• Ability to inspect mechanical parts and document accurate findings
• Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Excel, and Word, including professional email communication
• Strong verbal communication skills and confidence discussing quality issues
• Experience in quality inspection, manufacturing, machining, or a related technical environment

You don’t need to know our machines before you start. We’ll train you on RC Mowers equipment and processes, but you should already be comfortable reading blueprints, measuring parts, and communicating technical issues.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

This is a hands-on manufacturing job. You should be comfortable:

• Standing and walking throughout the workday
• Bending, reaching, and inspecting equipment from different positions
• Handling parts, tools, and inspection equipment
• Working safely around machinery and production equipment

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

• $23.00 to $27.00 per hour, based on experience
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid vacation time
• Paid holidays
• Disability, life, and accident insurance
