Quality Control Lead

Quality Control Lead (Manufacturing Floor)

Pay: Starting at $19/hour
Location: Salt Lake City, UT
Company: USA Premium Leather Furniture

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Quality Control Lead to inspect every piece coming off our production line and make sure it meets our standards before it ships.

This is a floor role, not a desk job. You will be on your feet, working directly with the production team, catching issues in real time, and making sure problems get fixed.

What You’ll Do

• Inspect finished furniture for defects (leather, stitching, frame, overall build)
• Catch issues before products leave the building
• Communicate problems clearly to the production team
• Hold team members accountable to quality standards
• Work through issues on the spot — even when conversations are tough
• Help reduce repeat mistakes and improve overall quality

What We’re Looking For

• Extremely detail-oriented — you notice things others miss
• Comfortable speaking up and addressing issues directly
• Able to handle confrontation professionally and move things forward
• Reliable, consistent, and takes ownership of your work
• Experience in manufacturing or quality control is a plus (not required)
• Experience in furniture or upholstery is a bonus, but not necessary

What This Job Is (and Isn’t)

✅ Hands-on, on the production floor
✅ Fast-paced, team-oriented environment
✅ You are the last line of defense before product ships

❌ Not a sit-at-a-desk role
❌ Not a passive position — you must be willing to speak up

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand and move for extended periods of time
• Ability to lift and move up to 75 lbs as needed

Growth Opportunity

If you perform well in this role, there is clear opportunity to grow into leadership positions in operations, production, or quality management as we continue to scale.

Pay: From $19.00 per hour

Benefits:

• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
• Dental insurance
• Employee discount
• Paid time off

Application Question(s):

• This is a hands-on role on the production floor (standing, moving, inspecting all day). Are you comfortable with that?
• What does “doing a job right” mean to you?
• If you start seeing the same defect over and over, what would you do?
