Job description
Quality Manager
Marietta, OH / Parkersburg, WV
Full-time, Exempt
On-site | Relocation Support Offered
Our client is a privately held manufacturer of critical power equipment for the data center sector. The company builds engineered-to-order PDUs, RPPs, and STS, running fabrication, electrical assembly, and final test in-house. They are vertically integrated, growing rapidly, and opening a newly acquired second facility over the next year which will more than double production capacity.
In this role you'll be the quality leader for the organization, covering the full manufacturing lifecycle from supplier and incoming material through production, electrical test, final inspection, and field performance. The company holds ISO 9001 certification, but the daily shop floor processes underneath it are not well developed. You'll own the responsibility of building the organization's QMS, quality culture, and quality support team.
You'll report to the COO directly and will inherit a Quality Technician, with the team expected to reach five in the near term and keep growing into the future. This hire is driven by strong customer demand, continued business growth, and the new facility coming online. You'll own quality across both sites and be the voice of quality with executive leadership.
