Summary

Description:
American-Marsh Pumps is seeking a Test Lab Quality & Operations Specialist to help ensure our pumps meet performance and quality standards. In this hands-on role, you'll troubleshoot test results, improve workflow, and share your technical knowledge with the next generation of Test Lab employees.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Pump Testing & Performance

  • Review pump performance testing and test curves for accuracy, consistency, and compliance with applicable specifications.
  • Assist test personnel in interpreting flow, head, efficiency, power, vibration, and other pump performance data.
  • Identify abnormal test results and help determine potential mechanical, hydraulic, assembly, or testing-related causes.
  • Provide troubleshooting support when pump performance does not meet expected or published performance.
  • Help ensure testing procedures and documentation are completed consistently and accurately.
  • Support continuous improvement of AMP's pump testing practices and capabilities.

Quality & Technical Support

  • Provide experienced technical review of pumps during assembly, testing, and final preparation.
  • Identify potential quality concerns before equipment progresses to the next stage of production or shipment.
  • Assist in troubleshooting assembly, fit-up, performance, and product-related issues.
  • Work with Quality and Engineering to identify root causes and implement corrective actions when necessary.
  • Promote workmanship and quality standards consistent with AMP expectations and customer requirements.
  • Use historical product and application knowledge to assist with legacy AMP equipment and unusual technical situations.

Test Lab Flow & Scheduling

  • Support efficient movement of work through assembly, testing, finishing, and shipment.
  • Work closely with Scheduling and Test Lab personnel to understand priorities and identify potential bottlenecks.
  • Help coordinate testing requirements with production schedules and customer commitments.
  • Identify workflow issues that may affect quality, productivity, or delivery performance.
  • Recommend practical improvements to Test Lab layout, sequencing, processes, tooling, and work methods.
  • Help leadership maintain visibility into upcoming workload, testing requirements, and potential scheduling conflicts.

Training, Mentoring & Knowledge Transfer

  • Serve as a technical mentor and resource for developing Test Lab employees.
  • Share practical knowledge of AMP pumps, manufacturing methods, testing procedures, troubleshooting techniques, and historical product designs.
  • Help employees develop a stronger understanding of why processes and procedures are performed, not simply how to perform them.
  • Provide hands-on coaching in pump assembly, testing, performance evaluation, and troubleshooting.
  • Support the development of employees who demonstrate potential for future technical or leadership responsibilities.
  • Help document critical institutional knowledge so that experience gained over many years remains within AMP.
  • Encourage employees to take increasing ownership of decisions, problem-solving, quality, and Test Lab performance as their capabilities develop.

Cross-Functional Support

The Test Lab Quality & Operations Specialist will work closely with:

  • Test Lab and Production personnel
  • Quality
  • Engineering
  • Scheduling and Planning
  • Sales and Order Management
  • Test Lab personnel
  • Operations leadership
  • The position is expected to help connect these functions and resolve issues before they negatively affect quality, testing, delivery, or customer satisfaction.
