Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)

Quality Control:

Swab it. Sample it. Send it. From air plates to water samples, you'll know what's growing, brewing, or behaving badly. Action hero alert: When test results wave a red flag, you'll step in with training, cleaning, or recalibrating superpowers. Keep tabs on raw materials, incoming samples, and ensure retests aren't just done--they're done right*.

Administration (Your Paperwork Game is Strong):

Verify checklists, train on SOPs, and ensure every dotted 'i' and crossed 't' is recorded, filed, and retrievable at 3AM. Handle complaints like a pro - from investigation to feedback, you're the calm in the chaos. Be our internal auditor and gap-closer, keeping everyone aligned with FSSC 22000 and beyond.

People Management:

Lead a small team of Quality Controllers with guidance, training, support--and a healthy dash of discipline when needed. Help your people grow, meet targets, and proudly wear the 'QA Legend' badge.

Hygiene & Safety:

Model and maintain gold-standard personal and environmental hygiene. Spot risks, report hazards, and make the workplace as safe as our food.
