Manage a team of QA Technicians - coaching, supporting and ensuring consistency
Lead internal audits, support external inspections, and manage non-conformances
Review quality data, identify trends, and implement corrective actions
Champion a culture of continuous improvement and food safety excellence
Work cross-functionally with production, technical, and site leadership teams
What You'll Bring:
Proven QA/Technical experience in food manufacturing
Strong working knowledge of BRCGS, HACCP, and food legislation
Experience managing or developing a QA team
