Job description

Quality Supervisor – 12 Month FTC – West Midlands

Food Industry Experience Essential - Immediate Start!*No sponsorship available*I am recruiting on behalf of one of the UK’s leading food manufacturers, part of a global business that’s in the top 10 for what they do. But this role isn’t about corporate strategy or “vision statements”it’s about keeping a busy production line running within the right standards so that what leaves the factory is safe, legal, and exactly how it should be.You’ll be based in the more established part of the site — the bit with the fully automated packaging lines. That means less manual intervention, but plenty of moving parts (literally and figuratively) that can go wrong if people or processes slip. That’s where you come in.You’ll lead the quality team day-to-day, make sure compliance records are watertight, and be the person everyone calls when there’s a whiff of non-conformance. You’ll be all over GMP, QMS, HACCP, TACCP, VACCP (basically all the CCPs), and you’ll know your way around a BRC or retailer audit without breaking a sweat.Some days you’ll be coaching your team or training operators on why “it’s fine” isn’t an acceptable standard. Other days you’ll be sorting packaging issues with suppliers, investigating customer complaints, or making sure we keep all the right accreditations and approvals in place.You’ll need to have:

• Supervisory or management experience in production/manufacturing
• Hands-on audit experience (bonus points if you’ve led BRC sections)
• Solid knowledge of GMP, HACCP and the rest of the acronyms
• The ability to influence people — and get them to care about compliance

This is a 12-month FTC. There’s plenty to do, and you’ll have the tools, training and backing to do it properly.If you can keep a quality team sharp, keep the auditors happy, and keep the standards higher than a Warwickshire commuter’s caffeine intake, I'd like to hear from you.
