Injection Molding Quality Compliance Auditor

Night-in-the-life

When the third shift comes alive in our Ankeny, Iowa plant, you move between molding presses and packing stations with purpose. You confirm that labels match specs, operators are following control plans, and machines are set to run within tolerance. You spot color shifts, subtle dimensional drift, or paperwork gaps before they become customer problems. You place nonconforming parts on hold, capture clear, timely documentation, and loop in Production and Quality Supervisors so we can respond fast. And you fuel continuous improvement by participating in SPC, capability studies, and Quality Management System initiatives.
