ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a meticulous and eagle-eyed Quality Control Specialist to join our production team in Kewaskum. In this role, you will be responsible for the physical inspection of doors, frames, and millwork components. You aren't just looking for scratches; you are ensuring that every product is machined to exact tolerances, wood grains are matched per specification, and all assemblies meet rigorous industry standards You will work directly on the shop floor, collaborating with team members, fabrications teams, and finishers to identify trends in defects and implement Real Time solutions to reduce waste.

Here are the details:

• Create and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for every station, from the initial rip-saw to final finishing.
• Inspect incoming raw materials (hardwood, MDF, veneers, and hardware) for grade compliance and defects before they enter the inventory.
• When a "remake" is required, lead the investigation into why it happened-was it a tool failure, a drawing error, or a training gap?
• Conduct "Quality Toolbox Talks" to train team members on how to self-inspect their work.
• Confirm that hinge pockets, lock preps, and concealed closers are machined accurately to the hardware templates provided.
• Ensure millwork finishes (paint, stain, raw materials) meet the Drexel finishing standards set by the Team in Kewaskum Manufacturing.
• Work within our in-house Color Lab team where we don't just match colors, we create masterpieces in-house, within a talented Team.
