Job Description

Quality Manager – Food - Hertfordshire

Exceptional career progression on offer

If you’re the type of person who likes to move for the immediate but also the long term, this is the one you’ll want to explore. The business is a major player in the UK food sector, supplying top-tier retailers and working with suppliers across the globe. But what truly sets them apart is their commitment to developing people.

The previous Quality Manager didn’t just move up a level—they’ve been promoted multiple times and now sit as Head of Operations. The current Head of Technical followed a similar path, having originally joined as Technical Manager. If you’re ambitious, capable, and hungry for growth, this is the kind of environment where careers accelerate.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be the driving force behind product quality and safety across the site, working closely with suppliers and leading a well equipped quality team.

Key responsibilities include:

  * 

    Leading and managing the quality team

  * 

    Training staff on quality standards, processes, and product specifications

  * 

    Implementing and monitoring quality control systems and procedures

  * 

    Maintaining active grower communications—celebrating the good and addressing the challenges

  * 

    Embedding a culture of continuous improvement and quality awareness

  * 

    Ensuring compliance with food safety standards (HACCP, BRC, customer protocols)

  * 

    Supporting internal and external audits (BRC, retailer audits)

  * 

    Ensuring all produce meets customer, retailer, and legislative specifications

  * 

    Maintaining accurate inspection, rejection, and corrective action records

  * 

    Collaborating with procurement, production, warehouse, commercial teams, and suppliers

  * 

    Identifying and escalating quality issues, driving corrective actions

  * 

    Providing regular quality performance reports and recommending improvements

  * 

    Contributing to supplier performance reviews and product specification updates

Education & Experience

  * 

    HACCP Level 3

  * 

    Lead Auditor qualification (advantageous but not essential)
