Job Overview:

The Quality Control Associate - Tire Inspection & Shipping Accuracy plays an important role in maintaining order accuracy and ensuring outgoing shipments meet company quality standards.

This position focuses primarily on inspecting tire orders, verifying product information, checking order tickets, and confirming shipping labels before orders leave the warehouse. Associates are responsible for identifying discrepancies, reporting errors, and helping prevent incorrect shipments from reaching customers.

This is a detail-oriented position that emphasizes accuracy, consistency, and careful verification rather than heavy equipment operation or physically demanding warehouse assignments. Occasional tire handling may be necessary to complete inspection responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Verify tire brands, sizes, models, and quantities against customer orders.

• Review order tickets to confirm product information matches the requested order.

• Verify FedEx shipping labels and ensure they correspond with the correct orders.

• Identify and report incorrect products, mismatched shipping labels, quantity discrepancies, and missing information.

• Confirm orders are accurate, properly labeled, and ready for shipment.

• Communicate identified discrepancies to the appropriate warehouse personnel for correction before shipment.

• Maintain an organized inspection station and follow established quality control procedures.

• Use scanners, computers, and other warehouse tools to verify order information when necessary.

• Follow established procedures to maintain shipping accuracy and prevent fulfillment errors.

• Perform occasional tire handling and other related tasks as needed to complete inspections.

• Perform additional duties as needed to support warehouse operations.

Training & Performance Expectations:

• Receive hands-on training and guidance on product identification, order verification, shipping labels, and quality control procedures.

• Learn how to identify discrepancies between customer orders, physical products, and shipping documentation.

• Develop consistency and accuracy when reviewing repetitive orders and shipping information.

• Demonstrate attention to detail and follow established inspection procedures.

• Report discrepancies promptly rather than allowing potentially incorrect orders to proceed to shipment.

• Maintain an appropriate workflow while prioritizing accuracy and quality over inspection speed.

• Demonstrate reliability, accountability, teamwork, and a willingness to learn.

• Maintain consistent inspection standards and follow established procedures to minimize shipping errors.

Performance will be evaluated based on order verification accuracy, attention to detail, discrepancies identified and reported before shipment, adherence to inspection procedures, and overall reliability. Productivity expectations will account for order volume and inspection complexity without compromising quality.

Requirements:

• Previous experience in order checking, retail inventory, order fulfillment, packing, or labeling is helpful but not required.

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to identify inconsistencies in product and order information.

• Ability to read and understand product descriptions, order tickets, and shipping labels.

• Patience and consistency when performing repetitive inspection and verification tasks.

• Basic computer or scanner familiarity is helpful.

• Dependable attendance and punctuality.

• Strong organizational and communication skills.

• Ability to work independently while contributing to team success.

• Willingness to learn and follow established quality control procedures.

• Ability to perform occasional tire handling and other related physical tasks, with or without reasonable accommodation.
