The Opportunity
We are seeking a Quality Coordinator to support the day-to-day verification, documentation, and compliance activities of ADL’s Quality function at our Water Street facility.
Reporting to the Quality Control Manager, the Quality Coordinator helps ensure that production, supplier, and Quality records are accurate, complete, traceable, and available when required. The role reviews and reconciles information across multiple processes, follows up on discrepancies and outstanding documentation, maintains controlled Quality records, prepares Certificates of Analysis, and supports audit readiness, product-hold reviews, and Quality investigations.
This role is well suited to someone who is highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. The successful candidate will be able to understand how processes and records connect, recognize when information does not align, and work collaboratively across departments to ensure issues are followed through to resolution. Cross-training within the Quality team is also an important part of the role, providing flexibility and coverage across functions when needed.
