Monitor finishing quality (stain, paint, clear coat) and construction processes to ensure every product meets standard. Build dashboards and reports to communicate quality performance and influence decisions. Respond with urgency to production floor issues, because quality can't wait. Help coach inspectors and production teams, developing the next generation of quality-focused employees. Qualifications 5+ years of experience in cabinet or wood product manufacturing.
