About The Position

The Quality Control Specialist inspects work at each work center to ensure options installed on Skeeter trucks meet customer specifications. As the final step of a production order before it advances to the next stage, the specialist signs off on completed work and ends the production line in the company ERP system.

After assembly, the specialist inspects each truck as a completed, functional vehicle and creates a rework order when needed. The Quality team conducts an offline inspection before approving a truck for release to the Blue Floor for final delivery. The specialist communicates regularly with the Blue Floor team about defects found so they can be reduced or eliminated in the future. This role supports manufacturing quality across the factory, including process control and improvement, testing and inspection, root cause analysis, supplier audits, production approvals, and quality documentation. The position performs other quality-related duties as assigned by the QA/QC Manager.
