Quality Controller

Quality Controllers, also known as Quality Assurance Officers inspect and test manufactured products and primary produce to ensure it meets the organisation’s quality standards — as well as government requirements. You’ll need a working knowledge of relevant legislation and standards, writing, and administration skills.

As a Quality Controller you could be inspecting manufactured goods for cracks or imperfections, sampling and testing raw materials, isolating and destroying defective items, or preparing quality and compliance reports for the QA Manager.
