A circular-knit fabric manufacturing plant in Karnataka is seeking a Quality Manager to oversee the end-to-end material quality assurance process at the plant level.

- Monitor shipments, lab-dips, sample approvals, and delivery timelines
- Coordinate with production, dyeing, finishing, and technical teams
- Maintain inspection reports, testing records, and shipment documentation
- Drive root-cause analysis and corrective action on quality issues
