Complete GMP/housekeeping audits, hygiene verification and environmental swabbing (as trained).

Raise non-conformances, quarantine “hold” product, and assist with CAPA and root-cause analysis.

Maintain documentation: cooking records, calibration, traceability/mass-balance, retain samples.

Support internal & external audits (SQF/customer/regulatory).

Coach operators on food-safety practices and SOP/work-instruction adherence.

Essential Requirements to be considered for this role are:

Tertiary qualification in Food Science/Technology OR 1–3+ years’ QC experience in food/FMCG (meat/ready-to-eat highly regarded).

Solid working knowledge of HACCP, GMP; exposure to SQF a bonus.
