About The Position

The Auditor is an hourly, seasonal role based on the production floor in Beltsville, Maryland.

It flags training-related misses to coordinators and quality roles for retraining requests, and supports continuous improvement (CI) and corrective and preventive action (CAPA) efforts by providing defect-trend data, taking part in small root-cause analysis activities, and following up to verify that containment and corrective actions are implemented and effective. The role reports to the CI & Quality Lead and collaborates with QCI & Training Coordinators, LQSA, and QS & Training Associate.
