Lead Quality Technician
Posted: 08/04/2026
Job Type:
Permanent/Direct Hire
Industry: Engineering
Job Number: 27539
Pay Rate: $ 25.00 - $ 32.00
Job Description
Our client, an established manufacturing company in Norton Shores, MI, is seeking a hands-on Quality Lead to take ownership of day-to-day quality activities while supporting the continued growth of the operation.
This position is ideal for someone who enjoys being directly involved in quality rather than sitting behind a desk. The Quality Lead will perform inspections, work with measurement and CMM equipment, oversee calibration activities, maintain quality documentation, and help improve inspection processes. You'll also provide guidance to other quality personnel and work closely with production leadership to resolve quality concerns.
While this is a leadership-level opportunity, our client is looking for someone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and perform the work. Practical manufacturing and quality experience is more important than having a specific degree or management title.

- Perform dimensional and visual inspections of in-process and completed parts.
- Operate CMM and other inspection and measurement equipment.
- Manage gauge and equipment calibration activities.

- Develop and improve in-process inspection checklists and work instructions.
- Provide guidance and support to other quality personnel.
- Work closely with production employees and leadership to identify and resolve quality concerns.
- Assist with quality system and compliance requirements.
- Investigate quality issues and support corrective actions.
- Ensure products meet applicable specifications and customer requirements.
- Take ownership of quality issues from identification through resolution.
- Develop into a more customer-facing quality resource as needed.
Qualifications
- 2+ years of quality inspection experience in a manufacturing environment.
- Experience performing dimensional and visual inspections.
- Experience with gauges, measurement equipment, and calibration.
- Ability to read and interpret prints, specifications, tolerances, and inspection requirements.
- Strong understanding of precision measurement and inspection practices.
Preferences
- CMM programming experience
- Machining industry experience
Benefits
- Bonus/profit-sharing opportunities.
- Health insurance.
- 401(k) with company match.
- Company-paid disability coverage.
- Company-paid life insurance.
- Paid holidays.
- Paid time off.
