The role

• Visiting export locations, such as slaughterhouses, cutting plants, cold stores, meat and meat product establishments, and retailers, to conduct on-site export certification to the highest standard. If the candidate doesn\'t have the necessary qualifications to perform export certification, Mistev EHC can provide this service.

• To provide the best service possible, we maintain regular contact with our customers and their representatives. We aim to build strong relationships and continually look for ways to get better, ensuring everyone feels valued and heard.
