About this role

MVS Metals (Owen Industries) – Sioux City, IA | 1st Shift | Monday–Thursday, 4x10 | Full-Time
Every Friday Off. Doing Work That Actually Matters.
MVS Metals is looking for a Quality Technician who knows their way around a CMM, understands GD&T, and takes pride in getting dimensions right the first time. You’ll be working with advanced inspection technology — Virtek laser QC systems, PC-DMIS-driven portable CMMs, and UniPoint — on parts that go into real industrial applications for real customers.
The schedule is Monday through Thursday, 10-hour days, which means you have every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to yourself. If you want a quality role with serious technical depth and a schedule that actually gives you a life outside work — this is it.
What You’ll Do
- Program and operate portable CMM (PCMM) equipment using PC-DMIS software to conduct dimensional layouts and first-article inspections
- Perform quality control inspections using Virtek laser projection/tracking systems to verify part conformance to design intent
- Interpret 3D models and drawings in CAD/SolidWorks to build inspection programs, apply GD&T callouts, and identify critical characteristics
- Create and maintain inspection specifications and control plans within UniPoint
- Support the PPAP process — execute required measurements, generate dimensional and capability data, and prepare documentation for customer submission
- Document inspection results, nonconformances, and corrective actions in the quality management system
- Maintain calibration schedules and verify accuracy of inspection equipment
- Collaborate with production and quality personnel to resolve dimensional discrepancies and drive continuous improvement
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing quality control or inspection role
- PC-DMIS and portable CMM experience preferred
- Proficiency reading and interpreting CAD models, technical drawings, and GD&T callouts; SolidWorks experience preferred
- Working knowledge of GD&T fundamentals
- Strong attention to detail and solid problem-solving skills
- Ability to write clear, accurate inspection reports and quality documentation
- Exposure to PPAP, APQP, or automotive/industrial quality tools a plus
- Associate's degree or technical certificate in manufacturing, quality, or engineering a plus; high school diploma or GED required

Company at a glance
Owen is the parent company of several steel processing and fabrication companies throughout the Midwest. Our oldest division, PVS Structures, was founded in Omaha, NE as Paxton & Vierling Iron Works in 1885, and focused primarily on our foundry and structural products. The company eventually rebranded as Paxton & Vierling Steel (PVS) in 1954, and our logo has worn the badge of PVS ever since. In the 1950s the ownership broke ground for a new steel facility in Sioux City, Iowa that would be named Missouri Valley Steel (MVS). Concurrently, Paxton & Vierling branched into Service Center Warehouse sales in the 1960s, and eventually split off as a separate entity when it moved into more advanced steel processing in the late 1990s. This company is now called PVS Metals and resides in a state of the art facility in Carter Lake, IA. Owen's next focus was the northern tier, and a new plant called Northern Plains Steel (NPS) was built in Fargo, ND that also specialized in warehouse and metals processing. Our latest iteration is also in the northern tier and is called Northern Plains Finishing (NPF) that focuses on powder coating for OEM and other similar customers. Owen, a private company powered by over 400 dedicated professionals, believes that the best projects are those that view the customer and supplier relationship as a partnership, and that proper execution is one in which all parties can be successful.
