Do you take pride in getting the details right? Danko builds ambulances, fire apparatus, rescue vehicles, and specialty response units that first responders count on. We’re looking for a Quality Control Inspector to make sure every vehicle that leaves our shop is safe, built correctly, and ready for service.

  • Check work against engineering drawings, work orders, and customer specifications
  • Document problems, communicate them, and stop work when needed so defects don’t move down the line
  • Write and maintain inspection checklists, work instructions, and quality procedures
  • Lead continuous improvement work using 5S, 5 Whys, and root cause analysis, and follow corrective actions through to the finish
  • Work with production, engineering, and design teams, and help train production staff on quality standards
What you’ll need
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • At least 2 years of quality inspection experience in manufacturing (automotive, truck body, emergency vehicle, or heavy equipment preferred)
  • Working knowledge of 5S, 5 Whys, and root cause analysis
  • Ability to read engineering drawings and technical specifications
  • Strong attention to detail and clear written and verbal communication
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook
  • Ability to stand, climb in and out of vehicles, and occasionally lift 25–50 lbs. on the production floor
