Quality Supervisor II

As a Quality Supervisor II, you will play a key leadership role in ensuring our products consistently meet the highest quality standards while supporting a fast-paced, innovative manufacturing environment.

Reporting to the Site Quality Manager, you will lead daily Quality Control operations, partnering closely with production teams across all shifts to drive quality excellence, operational performance, and continuous improvement. You will provide leadership, coaching, and development to a team of Quality Supervisors, Quality Inspector Leads, On-the-Job Trainers, and Quality Inspectors, helping them grow while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and customer focus.

This role is ideal for a hands-on leader who thrives on solving problems, developing people, and making a measurable impact. You will be a visible presence on the production floor, guiding quality initiatives, supporting operational needs, and building strong cross-functional relationships to ensure products and processes consistently exceed expectations. Through your leadership, you will help strengthen quality systems, improve performance, and contribute to Protolabs' commitment to delivering exceptional results for our customers.

Lead with visibility and connection. This role typically follows a Monday through Friday schedule, with most days worked between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Most weeks, 3-4 days, will follow these core hours, with 1-2 days flexed as needed to support off-shift coverage within a 24/7 manufacturing operation

Be a visible leader across the site. Our facility operates around the clock, and successful leaders build strong relationships throughout the organization. Regular interaction with employees across all four shifts is an important part of fostering engagement, alignment, and a culture of quality excellence.

Build and develop high-performing teams. You'll take the time to know your employees, understand their challenges, and create an environment where team members feel supported, valued, and empowered to succeed, regardless of their shift assignment.

Provide leadership where it's needed most. Whether supporting off-shift operations, addressing critical quality concerns, participating in employee engagement activities, or helping drive key site initiatives, you'll demonstrate flexibility and responsiveness to meet the evolving needs of the business.
