**Quality Assurance Manager**

The QA Manager will be working with our QA Consultant and Quality Inspectors to ensure all requirements are understood and fill parts that are acceptable based on the customer’s quality requirements.

The QA Manager is someone who has a strong investigative personality, and is analytical, with great attention to detail.

- Communicate with suppliers and clients directly on a daily basis.
- Assist in developing item master descriptions for new products in the ERP system that reference applicable technical documents and revision levels when required.
- Evaluate the capabilities of new vendors by one or more methods including a vendor evaluation document questionnaire, a facility audit and a first article inspection.
- Assist in reviewing and approving all purchase orders for special products (non-nuclear and non-aerospace) made to technical documents in order to ensure that the item master descriptions are correct and reference all applicable documents and correct revision levels.
- Develop procurement specifications when they are required to define technical requirements.
- Generate Inspection & Test inspections for fasteners & engineered industrial products.
- Conduct visual & dimensional inspections of fasteners & engineered industrial products.

- **Organized **- you are able to plan, prioritize, organize, and monitor activities and projects.
