Job description

At BAADER you will join an innovative and growing family business. For over a century BAADER has been one of the leading players in the food processing market. Quality and Safety are two of the main drivers in the delivery process to our customers. Here in Doesburg both drivers are also a focal point but until now it has been mostly restricted to Quality Control only. Another focal point is safety and health. We combine both departments in one and for this reason we are looking for a Manager QESH (1,0 FTE).

• Advise other departments on quality and safety aspects
• Develop, implement, and monitor procedures and standards based on the established quality and safety policy.
• Develop and maintain quality, safety and procedure manuals.
• Qualifying employees to conduct internal audits both on quality and safety.
• Conducting quality and safety audits at (international) suppliers, registering these assessments on the list of qualified suppliers, and distributing and managing this list.
• Supervising external audits/inspections by customers and representatives of inspection bodies.
• Determining measurement and analysis methods and measuring tools to be used for incoming and final product inspections.
• Evaluating measurement and analysis reports and, in cases of doubt, having measurements verified.
• Deciding on the approval or rejection of products.
• Managing all measuring tools used within the company.
• Ensuring periodic calibration.
• Inspecting returned final products and handling these in the event of a complaint or repair.
• Improving the overall Safety awareness (updating RI&E and Plan of Action)

What do we ask?

An effective QESH Manager requires a combination of technical, analytical, and interpersonal skills:

• HBO-WO, preferred with an education on “Hogere Veiligheidskunde”
• Leadership and coaching skills to drive QESH initiatives and motivate teams
• Communication and influencing skills
• Regulatory expertise in ISO standards, HACCP, BRC, IFS, FSMA, ARBO, and SHE legislation
• Operational and strategic thinking
