Background we are looking for

5 or more years in manufacturing quality

2 or more years leading quality teams of multiple inspectors or techs

Experience in curtainwall, facade, metals, glass, automotive, aerospace, or engineer to order manufacturing

Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T

Travel and location

This role is based in Texas and requires approximately 40% travel to our Cincinnati, Ohio manufacturing site. Travel is consistent and planned so you can stay engaged with the team and the operation.

Why this role matters

You are part of the site leadership team. Your work directly impacts production flow, cost, customer satisfaction, and the reputation of what we build. This is a role for someone who takes ownership, leads from the floor, and wants to make a visible impact on how a plant performs.
