• Manage the QC training program end-to-end, ensuring it’s effective, current, and tailored to what inspectors actually need
• Identify and track the inspection capabilities of every individual on your team — and build development plans to close any gaps
• Establish performance controls and goals for the department and your direct reports, then hold the line on them
• Support the development of departmental strategy and long-term vision

Inspection & Process Excellence

• Monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of inspection methods selected during planning — and relentlessly eliminate redundancy and non-value-added steps
• Ensure product conformity is verified as early in the process as possible — catching problems at the source, not at the finish line
• Oversee nonconformance documentation and containment, ensuring accuracy, speed, and the right corrective path every time
• Maintain adherence to manufacturing and inspection processes across the floor and correct deviations before they compound
• Ensure final production records are complete, accurate, and ready for Quality Assurance processing

Metrology & Technology

• Serve as the company’s SME for all inspection (non-NDT) and metrology activities — the person everyone turns to when it gets technical
• Ensure the right inspection technologies are available, employed, and driving efficiency
• Stay current on emerging inspection philosophies and technologies to keep GTC’s capabilities ahead of the curve
• Provide expert guidance on metrology to Quality Assurance and across the organization

• Support regulatory audits as required by applicable standards and regulatory bodies
