Job description

Built on Relationships

Caviness Beef Packers, LTD is a progressive beef packer and further processor whose products are marketed through a variety of foodservice and retail channels. Caviness Beef Packers has been family owned and operated for over 60 Years and is currently led by 2nd and 3rd generation family members. Since 1962, Caviness has remained one of the most relationship oriented companies in the beef industry. The business has grown from harvesting a handful of cattle, in the early days, to 2900 head processed each day. Today, the company operates two processing locations and markets products worldwide.

Your Mission

As the FSQA Lead - Amarillo, you'll keep food safety moving at full speed-supporting the FSQA Supervisor while making sure plant-wide direction is clearly communicated and executed across QA. You'll verify daily records and CCPs, review documentation by area, and help respond fast when food safety concerns surface-escalating to the right responsible parties and leaders.

• Act as liaison between Operations and USDA when FSQA supervision is unavailable
• Basic computer skills (simple letters, spreadsheets, queries/data output)
• Give breaks as needed; fill in across positions; step in for the Supervisor when required
• Monitor OPSANs/GMPs/SSOPs and adherence to HACCP
• Stand/walk on concrete 9-12 hours/day; lift 50+ lbs
• Food Safety/HACCP experience; 6+ months beef processing/grind facility a plus (ground beef preferred)

Ready to lead with integrity and urgency?

Fast-Paced Flow

Your morning starts early alongside production, syncing quickly with the Supervisor's priorities and keeping communication crisp across the QA team. You'll move throughout the facility, staying close to the action, checking that the shift's paperwork is clean and complete, and watching for anything that could spark a food safety concern. When questions come in-from the floor or from USDA-you'll help keep answers clear, calm, and timely. As the day ramps up, you'll rotate to cover breaks, jump into the spot that needs you most, and keep the team aligned through end of production-then reset for the next day's push.
