Role Purpose & Strategic Context

The Quality Assurance Manager leads the plant’s integrated Quality Control, Food Safety and Process Engineering function across all four manufacturing categories — powder beverages (3-in-1 coffee mix, malt milk, tea mix). The role carries single-point accountability for both halves of the quality equation: the engineering standards that define what “in control” means, and the testing, inspection and release discipline that proves the process is meeting them.

The Process Engineer reports into this role. Technical standards — critical process parameters, critical quality attributes, analytical methods, validation protocols and the HACCP technical file — are developed and validated by the Process Engineer and formally approved by the Quality Assurance Manager, who then owns their enforcement on the factory floor and in the QC laboratory. Consolidating standard-setting and standard-enforcement under one accountable leader requires the postholder to be technically credible enough to challenge, direct and approve engineering work — not merely to receive it.

The Quality Assurance Manager is expected to build and sustain a high-capability quality and process engineering organisation, direct the process capability and continuous improvement agenda through the Process Engineer, and serve as the Plant Manager’s operational quality authority — providing the analytical evidence and technical confidence that underpins product release, audit readiness and customer trust.

Qualifications & Experience

Education

• Bachelor’s Degree (minimum) in Food Science, Food Technology, Dairy Technology, Food Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or Microbiology. A Master’s degree (MSc Food Science, MSc Analytical Chemistry, or equivalent) is a strong advantage.

• Food Safety Certification: HACCP Level 3 (minimum); FSSC 22000 / BRC Internal or Lead Auditor certification is highly preferred.

• Quality Systems: ISO 9001 / ISO 22000 Internal Auditor qualification is an advantage.

• Statistical / Analytical: Lean Six Sigma Green Belt required; Black Belt preferred — the postholder must be able to evaluate and direct the Process Engineer’s DMAIC work. Working command of SPC, Cpk, and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA / Gauge R&R) is required.

• Validation literacy: familiarity with IQ/OQ/PQ and GAMP 5 validation frameworks sufficient to review, challenge, and approve validation protocols and reports.
