What is a Quality Control Administrator?

As administrator, it is your job to support your team. Your goal is that the entire office runs smoothly. So you've got to do the best you can to provide whatever your team needs to be successful. If they need you to get a tattoo to improve their morale, then... We're kidding. Simply put, you'll be responsible for providing office and administrative support. What you get tattooed on your body is business. But the business you work for is counting on your team to get the job done, so you might look forward to duties such as taking phone calls, helping with visitors, creating spreadsheets, and presenting in meetings.

For the most part, you'll only need to work 40 hours each week. Although, some weeks may require a little more time from you. So, you just need to be flexible and roll with the punches. Sure, there's a lot of responsibility resting on your shoulders, but we believe in you.

A quality assurance specialist is responsible for making sure the products of a company live up to the quality expectations of both potential consumers and company regulations. They design and put into practice inspection systems that efficiently detect problems and find solutions to correct deficiencies in physical products or software.

Ensuring a steady level of product quality is essential for a company that wishes to stay on the market long enough to allow for innovation and evolution. Quality assurance specialists are essential in making the reputation of a brand grow, and prove its commitment to supreme services and products.

Quality assurance specialists have a meticulously organized mind, unwavering attention to detail, and a set belief in the fact that exceptional quality is something that has to be assured at every phase of a production process. They know that this depends on the active participation of every employee involved in the work, no matter how minute their responsibility might seem, and they create the circumstances for each worker to accomplish their part to the fullest.

Quality control inspectors monitor the quality of production procedures, as well as materials and products coming in and out of manufacturing sites or company premises. They run tests and log defects of products or procedures at assembly lines, laboratories, or quality control departments.

Quality control focuses on the inspection aspect of quality management and fulfilling quality requirements, as opposed to monitoring processes, which is more along the area of quality assurance.

Summing up to much more than error hunting, the position of quality control inspectors is a widely misunderstood one, burdened by many stereotypes. One of them, strangely enough, is a gender stereotype assuming that women perform better at quality control. Multitasking and attention to detail do seem to be skills ladies tend to beat quality control dudes at, as well as empathy and communication. But deciding whether a job is for men or women is pointless. If you like it, it is for you. Who says you have to be like other men? Or women?
