We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Secondary Operations Supervisor to oversee our secondary manufacturing and quality inspection processes in a fast-paced precision machine shop.

In this role, you will be responsible for leading a team focused on post-machining operations, specifically gage pinning parts for tight-tolerance verification and performing rigorous visual inspections to identify surface blemishes, burrs, or imperfections as well as overseeing other operations including wash, tumble, honing and shot peen.
