About the role
Quality Manager | Hamilton, OH | Direct Hire
Mural Group is partnering with a growing precision CNC machining company in Hamilton, Ohio to place a Quality Manager. This operation runs complex, tight-tolerance aerospace and defense components and is building out its quality function to match the pace of its growth. If you are a quality professional who owns a system rather than just monitors it, this is worth a conversation.
What You Will Do
- Own and maintain the AS9100 quality management system including internal audits, corrective action programs, and certification compliance
- Lead First Article Inspection (FAI) and AS9102 documentation processes from initiation through customer approval
- Serve as the primary point of contact for customer quality escapes, corrective action requests, and quality surveillance visits
- Oversee CMM inspection and measurement programs, ensuring dimensional conformance to customer specifications and GD&T callouts
- Develop and maintain quality procedures, work instructions, and inspection records
- Partner with production, engineering, and purchasing to drive continuous improvement and prevent recurrence of quality issues
- Build and develop the quality team as the department scales
What You Bring
- 5+ years of progressive quality experience in a precision machining, aerospace, or defense manufacturing environment
- Demonstrated ownership of an AS9100 quality management system - not just familiarity, but hands-on administration and audit responsibility
- Strong GD&T and blueprint reading capability
- CMM experience, either hands-on or in an oversight capacity
- Direct experience responding to customer corrective action requests and managing quality escapes
- IATF 16949, NADCAP, or aerospace supplier quality experience is a meaningful differentiator
Why This Move Makes Sense
- You are not stepping into a fully built quality function. You are shaping it, which means your decisions stick and your impact is visible.
- Hamilton, Ohio is the site. No travel requirement, stable operation, direct hire from day one.
- The company is investing in quality leadership because the work demands it. Aerospace and defense customers set a high bar, and this role exists to meet it.
