Card Monroe Job - Quality & Continuous Improvement Manager

27 Jul 2026 9:04 AM | Lulu Copeland (Administrator)

CMC designs and manufactures tufting machinery and has an established Lean operating structure with existing quality practices in place. We're looking for a Quality & Continuous Improvement Manager to own two connected things: bringing our quality practices into alignment with ISO 9001 and driving the ongoing process improvement work that reduces cost, waste, and cycle time across the shop - including how engineering changes and new designs move into production.

Job Requirements - 

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Technology, or a related field.
  • 8+ years in a quality and/or continuous improvement role in a heavy machine shop or heavy industrial manufacturing environment - large fabricated components, precision machining, weldments.
  • Hands-on experience implementing ISO 9001-aligned practices (not just working inside a certified system).
  • Practical experience running kaizen events, A3s, or similar structured problem-solving - able to show real before/after results, not just training certificates.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with engineering to resolve manufacturability and design-related quality issues.
  • Comfortable pulling and interpreting data from an ERP system (Epicor experience a plus, not required).

• Enough shop-floor credibility to earn respect from machinists, welders, and assemblers - this isn't a desk job!
