The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing, implementing, and managing a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) from scratch.

   Train production staff and supervisors on all new quality standards, inspection methods, and their role in maintaining quality. Lead and mentor a small team of quality checkers.
