Description

• Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)

Quality Control :

• Swab it. Sample it. Send it. From air plates to water samples, you’ll know what’s growing, brewing, or behaving badly.
• Action hero alert : When test results wave a red flag, you’ll step in with training, cleaning, or recalibrating superpowers.
• Keep tabs on raw materials, incoming samples, and ensure retests aren’t just done—they’re done right.

Administration (Your Paperwork Game is Strong) :

• Verify checklists, train on SOPs, and ensure every dotted ‘i’ and crossed ‘t’ is recorded, filed, and retrievable at 3AM.
• Handle complaints like a pro – from investigation to feedback, you’re the calm in the chaos.
• Be our internal auditor and gap-closer, keeping everyone aligned with FSSC 22000 and beyond.

People Management :

• Lead a small team of Quality Controllers with guidance, training, support—and a healthy dash of discipline when needed.
• Help your people grow, meet targets, and proudly wear the ‘QA Legend’ badge.

Hygiene & Safety :

• Model and maintain gold-standard personal and environmental hygiene.
• Spot risks, report hazards, and make the workplace as safe as our food.

Team player :

• Participate as a HACCP team member, Food Defence and Food Fraud team member
• Actively prepare and partake in audits (Internal audits and external audits)
