About The Position
We are seeking an experienced Quality Controller to lead the implementation and continuous improvement of quality control processes at our DFW manufacturing facility. This role will drive improvements to existing QC practices and implement structured quality checkpoints throughout production, with an initial focus on reducing internal non-conformities (NCs) between operations and prior to shipment. This role serves as the plant-level owner of quality process discipline and non-conformity management. The Quality Controller will partner closely with Production, Technical Design, Shipping and Installation teams to improve accountability, reduce rework, and strengthen first-time-right manufacturing performance. While primarily focused on manufacturing quality, this role may also support internal installation quality initiatives when required.

- Experience leading root cause analysis and corrective actions.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams.

- Ensure compliance with defined QC procedures across operations.
- Develop site-specific quality processes tailored to DFW operations while aligning with broader company quality standards and performance objectives.
- Support development of scalable quality practices that may be adopted across other facilities.
- Lead implementation and enforcement of standardized QC reporting for internal and external non-conformities.
- Ensure internal NCs are identified at the point of occurrence and assigned to the responsible department.
- Track, analyze, and trend NC data to identify systemic issues and drive measurable reduction in recurring defects.
- Drive corrective and preventive actions in collaboration with department leaders.
- Provide regular reporting to plant leadership on quality performance and improvement initiatives.
- Support achievement of company quality objectives related to non-conformity reduction, rework reduction, and on-time shipment performance.
- Conduct in-process and final inspections to verify compliance with engineering drawings and project specifications.
