About The Position

The Supplier Quality Representative (SQR) performs full-time, on-site quality surveillance of supplier and vendor activities for the Micron precast concrete project. The role is assigned to a supplier location in Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Southern New York, and the candidate must live within reasonable commuting distance. The SQR serves as the client’s primary supplier contact and verifies that supplier-furnished materials and equipment meet procurement-document, code, and quality requirements through monitoring, observation, document review, witnessing, and selective hands-on inspection. For the precast concrete assignment, the SQR provides oversight of forming, concrete pours, post-pour inspections, documentation reviews, shipping preparation, and release for shipment. The representative reviews requirements and readiness before fabrication; monitors inspections, tests, and production activities; reviews quality records; documents and follows up on nonconformances and corrective actions; releases conforming material for shipment; and reports surveillance results and fabrication risks to client project personnel and the customer. The position includes routine travel to supplier facilities within the assigned area and work in industrial fabrication environments. Remote collaboration tools may support surveillance but do not replace in-shop presence and judgment.

Minimum 1 year of precast concrete experience is stated in the assignment description.
Meet one of the listed basic qualification pathways: two years of related experience involving 2,000 hours of in-shop surveillance, examination, or testing; or a high school diploma or equivalent and 1,000 such hours; or an associate degree (or equivalent of two years of full-time related college coursework) plus 500 hours of related in-shop experience.
Valid driver's license and ability to travel routinely to supplier facilities within the assigned area.
Ability to obtain and maintain client, facility, or export-control access required for assigned suppliers.
Ability to work under moderate supervision and reach defensible conclusions independently at a supplier facility.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including clear, factual surveillance report writing.
Working knowledge of word processing and spreadsheet applications, electronic report submission and assignment tracking, and digital camera use.
Ability to work safely in an industrial fabrication environment with exposure to noise, heat, cold, dust, fumes, and moving equipment, while wearing required personal protective equipment.
Ability to climb ladders and stairs, work at elevation, enter confined or restricted spaces when authorized, stand and walk for extended periods, and lift and carry inspection equipment weighing approximately 25 pounds.
Vision and hearing, with correction as needed, sufficient to perform visual examination and witness testing.
Candidate must reside within reasonable commuting distance of the assigned supplier location in Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Southern New York.
Include industry certifications with the resume, including issue and expiration dates.
