Job Description

QUALITY COORDINATOR (TECHNICAL QA) - A ROLE WITH FAST-TRACK CAREER PROGRESSION 
 Location: Peterborough
 Salary: £28,000-£32,000 
 Hours: Monday-Friday, 9-5. (flexible start/finish times available)

Are you ready to accelerate your career in a rapidly growing food manufacturing environment?
 This is your chance to step into a genuinely progressive Quality Coordinator role where your technical expertise will be recognised, developed, and fast-tracked into management level.

We're recruiting on behalf of a thriving food business that is heavily investing in its quality function. If you're ambitious, technically strong, and eager to grow into a Technical/Quality Manager role within 6-12 months, this could be the perfect next step.

About the Role

You'll act as the right hand to the QA Technical Lead, becoming their trusted number two. This is a hands-on, highly technical QA role where you'll be involved in auditing, compliance, food safety systems, and continuous improvement across the site.

You'll be at the heart of quality assurance-not just ticking boxes, but shaping and strengthening the entire QA function as the business expands.

What You'll Be Doing

Supporting the QA Technical Lead and deputising when required
Conducting internal audits and participating in customer audits (BRC, Tesco, etc.)
Developing, maintaining, and improving quality and compliance systems
Working across key standards including HACCP, BRC, Soil Association, Rainforest Alliance & Fairtrade
Managing traceability and investigating customer complaints
Monitoring daily production activity to ensure compliance
Leading on GMP and hygiene compliance across the site
Conducting finished goods checks and maintaining high standards
Driving continuous improvement within the Quality System
Staying up to date with industry legislation and certification changes 

Skills & Experience You'll Bring

Strong technical QA understanding, ideally with hands-on auditing experience
Knowledge of BRC or equivalent food safety schemes
At least 1 year in a food manufacturing QA/QC role
Degree in Food Science or similar
Excellent communication, organisation, and attention to detail
Proactive mindset with the confidence to influence and drive change
Computer literate 

Team Structure & Future Progression

You'll report directly to the QA Technical Lead and offer support to a team of six QA Operatives. As the business continues to grow its product lines, there is a clear and realistic development path into a Technical/Quality Manager position.

This isn't just a job-it's a springboard into leadership.

Why This Role Stands Out

A growing business committed to quality
A technically rich environment perfect for building expertise
Genuine, planned succession into management
Opportunity to influence processes, systems, and standards
A supportive team and flexible working hours
