Quality Control Inspection jobs in Mumbai, Maharashtra

Build and Own the QC System

• Design and implement a comprehensive quality management system (QMS) covering incoming materials, in-process checks, and finished goods inspection

• Define inspection standards, sampling plans (AQL or equivalent), and pass/fail criteria for each product category — documented, versioned, and accessible

• Establish standard operating procedures for every stage of the QC process, from raw material receipt to final dispatch sign-off

• Build a QC team under you — hire, train, and manage inspectors who operate to your standards, not the factory floor's preferences

• Maintain complete, audit-ready QC records for every production run

Operate as the Brand's Trusted QC Partner

• Understand the quality requirements of each brand we work with at a detailed level — their inspection criteria, their tolerance levels, their non-negotiables and their Tech Pack

• Be the person brands call when they have a quality concern — responsive, data-backed, and solution-oriented

• Proactively share QC data and trend analysis with brand partners so they can see quality improving over time, not just reacting to failures

• Produce QC reports in the format and language that brands expect — the same rigour they would expect from a top-tier third-party firm, but from inside our operation

• Manage and resolve any brand-raised quality disputes with professionalism and full transparency

Drive Continuous Improvement

• Analyse defect data by root cause — is the issue raw material, process, skill, equipment, or design? — and feed findings back to production and sourcing

• Track quality KPIs by production run, by product type, by supplier, and over time — and present trends to the COO on a regular cadence

• Lead root cause analysis on every significant quality failure and ensure corrective actions are implemented and verified

• Challenge the factory to improve — not just comply; the QC function should be raising the bar, not just measuring against it

Supplier and Raw Material Quality

• Assess incoming raw materials and components against defined specifications before they enter production

• Build a supplier quality rating system — track defect rates by supplier, escalate poor performers, and inform procurement decisions

• Work with the sourcing team on new supplier onboarding — QC sign-off should be required before a new supplier is approved

What We're Looking ForExperience

• 7+ years in quality control, quality assurance, or quality management — with direct experience in a manufacturing environment

• Significant experience working with or on behalf of brands — either as a brand-side QC manager, a third-party inspection professional, or a factory QC lead with heavy brand-facing responsibility

• Experience building or significantly improving a QC system from scratch, not just inheriting a functioning one

• Familiarity with AQL sampling standards, inspection protocols, and relevant compliance frameworks (ISO 9001, BSCI, SMETA, SA8000, or equivalent)

• Experience in jewellery, accessories, fashion, or related categories is strongly preferred; general manufacturing experience with quality rigour will be considered

Skills and Attributes

• Independently minded — you are not easily pressured by production timelines or factory management; your default is to the standard, not the schedule

• Brand-literate — you understand what a brand partner needs from a QC function and you can communicate quality data in the way they expect to receive it

• Analytically strong — you work from data; you track defect rates, run trend analysis, and make decisions based on evidence

• Process builder — you document things properly, build systems that others can follow, and do not rely on personal knowledge to keep quality consistent

• Clear communicator — you can write a QC report that a brand's sourcing director will trust, and you can give feedback to a production team that is direct without being destructive

• Calm under pressure — quality failures happen; you handle them methodically, not reactively

What Will Set You Apart

• You have previously worked for a third-party QC firm, a brand's sourcing or quality team, or a manufacturing business with serious brand clients — you know what the brand side of this relationship looks like

• You have managed a QC-to-brand relationship directly — writing reports, presenting findings, handling disputes – Not Critical, but will be expected to learn how to do this

• You have led a transition from third-party to in-house QC, or have built an internal QC function that brands accepted as sufficient without external verification

• You are comfortable telling the factory that a run is on hold — and comfortable defending that decision to senior management

Benefits:

• Paid sick time
• Paid time off
• Provident Fund
