Quality Control Officer

Detmold Medical Manufacturing – Brompton, SA

Day Shift | 7:00am – 3:00pm

Detmold Medical Manufacturing, part of the Detmold Group, produces high‑quality medical and healthcare devices. We are looking for a practical, hands‑on Quality Control Officer to support production quality on the shop floor.

It is a operational QC position, suited to someone who is reliable, observant, and comfortable working closely with production teams to ensure standards are met every day.

About the Role

Reporting to the Quality Assurance Coordinator, you will work alongside Operators, Supervisors and Packers across the shop floor, QC workstation and lab.

You will spend much of your shift actively completing inspections, recording results, maintaining housekeeping standards and speaking up when something isn’t right. This role is about doing the basics well, consistently.

What You’ll Be Doing Day to Day

This role focuses on routine quality activities, including:

• Reviewing the production schedule and planning inspection priorities
• Performing walk‑throughs to check cleanliness, readiness and housekeeping
• Setting up and maintaining inspection stations and QC tools (gauges, callipers, scales, templates, scanners)
• Completing hourly, in‑process and finished goods inspections in line with sampling plans
• Inspecting incoming materials against specifications
• Sending samples to the lab for further testing where required
• Recording results accurately in quality systems and paperwork
• Escalating issues to Operators, Supervisors or the QA Coordinator when results fall outside limits
• Assisting with non‑conformances, including containment, documentation and basic investigation support
• Supporting internal audits and follow‑up actions
• Preparing and sending a daily QC summary report
• Assisting with calibration, training and documentation tasks
• Supporting raw material verification and DPA testing where applicable

You’ll be a good fit if you:

• Have experience in a manufacturing, production or quality environment
• Are comfortable using basic measuring and inspection tools
• Can follow procedures and work methodically
• Are confident to speak up and challenge issues respectfully
• Take pride in protecting product quality
• Communicate clearly with Operators, Supervisors and Quality staff
• Are dependable, organised and consistent

Training will be provided, but you must be willing to learn, ask questions and take accountability for your work.

• Frequent interaction with production and quality teams
• On your feet for much of the shift
• Strong focus on housekeeping and “everything has a place”
