Quality Control Manager

GENERAL TOOL COMPANY INC • Cincinnati, OH • 1h ago

General Tool Company | Quality | Full-Time | Leadership Role

Quality isn't a department at GTC - it's a standard we hold ourselves to every single day. We're looking for a seasoned Quality Control Manager who doesn't just manage a function but elevates it. You'll be the subject matter expert on all things inspection and metrology, the person who sets the bar, builds the team, and makes sure every part that leaves our floor is exactly what it needs to be. If you're a quality professional who leads with expertise, develops people, and drives continuous improvement - this is your seat at the table.

You're Not Just an Employee. You're an Owner.

We believe that everyone who helps build this company should share in its success. That's why we created Ownership For All - giving every eligible full-time employee an ownership stake in the business. From day one, you're not just joining a team - you're becoming an owner. At GTC, your wins aren't just good for the company. They're good for you.

What You'll Own

You'll lead the entire Quality Control organization - inspection, metrology, training, calibration, and the people who make it all work. Your fingerprints will be on the quality of every part we ship.

Leadership & People Development

Lead, inspire, and maximize the engagement of the QC team - because great quality starts with great people

Manage the QC training program end-to-end, ensuring it's effective, current, and tailored to what inspectors actually need

Identify and track the inspection capabilities of every individual on your team - and build development plans to close any gaps

Establish performance controls and goals for the department and your direct reports, then hold the line on them

Support the development of departmental strategy and long-term vision

Inspection & Process Excellence

Monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of inspection methods selected during planning - and relentlessly eliminate redundancy and non-value-added steps

Ensure product conformity is verified as early in the process as possible - catching problems at the source, not at the finish line

Oversee nonconformance documentation and containment, ensuring accuracy, speed, and the right corrective path every time

Monitor adherence to manufacturing and inspection processes across the floor and correct deviations before they compound

Ensure final production records are complete, accurate, and ready for Quality Assurance processing

Metrology & Technology

Serve as the company's SME for all inspection (non-NDT) and metrology activities - the person everyone turns to when it gets technical

Ensure the right inspection technologies are available, employed, and driving efficiency

Stay current on emerging inspection philosophies and technologies to keep GTC's capabilities ahead of the curve

Provide expert guidance on metrology to Quality Assurance and across the organization

Ensure all calibration activities are executed per industry standards and on a schedule that keeps production and inspection running without interruption

Support regulatory audits as required by applicable standards and regulatory bodies

What You Bring

10+ years of experience in quality disciplines, with a strong preference for manufacturing environments

Proven supervisory experience leading a technical function - defense-based manufacturing experience is a major plus

A track record of successfully completing quality improvement projects that delivered real, measurable results

Deep expertise in inspection and metrology - you're the SME, not just the manager

Bachelor's degree in engineering or a technical field - or equivalent experience that speaks for itself

Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with coworkers, leadership, and customers alike

Why GTC?

Ownership For All - you're a stakeholder from day one

A leadership role with real scope - you'll own the entire QC function, not just a slice of it

An organization that treats quality as a core value, not a compliance checkbox

The chance to shape a team, build a program, and leave the function measurably better

Work that demands precision - and rewards people who deliver it

A culture built on accountability, continuous improvement, and doing the job right

Equal Opportunity Employer M/F/D/V

All applicants will be considered based upon experience and knowledge, without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, ancestry, marital, disabled, or veteran status. GTC is committed to creating and maintaining a workforce environment free from any form of discrimination or harassment.
