We are seeking a full-time Quality Control Lead to oversee the day-to-day operation of our final quality control and wrapping area. This is a hands-on lead position, not a management role.

Key Responsibilities:

Perform final inspection of finished glass products for defects, accuracy, and workmanship.

Inspect glass for scratches, chips, clams, edge defects, and other quality concerns. Review work orders and production paperwork to ensure the finished product matches customer requirements. Identify and hold products that do not meet AGI quality standards and communicate required rework or remakes to production. Maintain accurate QC documentation and inspection records. Oversee the daily workflow of the QC and wrapping area. Help prioritize completed orders based on production and delivery schedules. Provide direction to an additional QC/wrapping employee when assigned to the department. Communicate quality concerns and recurring issues to production leadership.
