Quality Control Technician I

About the role

BLOX is revolutionizing the construction industry by integrating advanced manufacturing principles with innovative technology to deliver high-quality, modular building solutions. We are seeking a detail-driven Quality Control (QC) Technician I to perform in-process and final quality inspections at our Bessemer, AL manufacturing facility.

Responsibilities

• Perform in-process and final quality inspections of assigned units against manufacturing drawing package elements (QC Sheets, Finish Sheets) under the direction of a QC Technician II or Specialist.
• Follow all established quality inspection processes: complete Dozuki guide steps accurately, verify regulatory labels, capture required HoloBuilder photo documentation, and apply Final QC check sheets, stickers, and labels.
• Support Measurement and Test activities: assist with Plumbing, MedGas, Electrical, and Welding visual identification checks and confirm all required testing identifications are present before sign-off.
• Verify that paper travelers are fully completed by operations before Final QC sign-off and flag incomplete travelers to a QC Technician II, Specialist, or QC Lead.
• Document quality findings in Autodesk ACC (BIM 360) and enter Quality Non-Conformances that are complete and clearly described.
• Escalate unresolved or recurring quality issues and participate in 5-Why problem-solving discussions as directed.
• Follow Built-in Quality verification checks and inspection criteria defined for each line station and Final QC, reporting deviations from standard immediately.
• Maintain cleanliness and organization of inspection tools, gauges, and workstation areas, and report damaged or out-of-calibration equipment to the QC Lead.
• Actively participate in quality control training programs and demonstrate proficiency in BLOX QC standards, Dozuki guides, and BIM 360 procedures.
• Support continuous improvement by communicating observations and process improvement ideas to the QC Technician II or QC Lead.
• Comply with all BLOX safety policies and procedures, and perform additional duties as assigned by the QC Lead or QC Supervisor.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent (GED accepted).
• Ability to read and follow manufacturing drawings, QC Sheets, assembly instructions, and quality checklists, with the drive to build blueprint literacy on the job.
• Basic proficiency with computer applications (email, spreadsheets, digital forms) and the ability to learn BIM 360, Dozuki, and HoloBuilder with training.
• Consistent process compliance: follows established inspection steps completely and seeks clarification when uncertain rather than proceeding without confirmation.
• Strong attention to detail: identifies visible defects, labeling errors, and incomplete documentation, and records findings accurately without prompting.
• Coachability and learning orientation: receives feedback constructively, applies corrections immediately, and takes ownership of personal development toward Level 2 certification.
• Clear communication with operations and QC teammates, and a positive contribution to team productivity and morale in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Alignment with the BLOX core values: makes things better, creativity and simplicity, intellectual rigor, bold action and grit.

Qualifications

• Prior experience (6 months or more) in a manufacturing, construction, or quality inspection role a plus.
• Exposure to structured quality tools (checklists, inspection records, non-conformance reporting) a plus.
• Familiarity with modular construction, MEP systems, or residential and commercial building standards a plus.
• Interest in pursuing BLOX QC Level 2 certification and the ASQ Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) credential a plus.
