We're not going to bore you with buzzwords like "fast-paced environment" or "blue-sky thinking."

Here's the deal:

We make food. A lot of it. It's flying off the shelves. And we need someone who knows how to keep standards tighter than a lid on a jar that won't budge.

This role is for a
Quality Assurance Manager
with backbone. You'll take full ownership of quality across the site - from raw material intake to final product leaving the building with a smile and a certificate of analysis.

No hiding behind spreadsheets here. This is hands-on, sleeves-up quality leadership. You'll run the QA team, manage the labs, keep the paperwork legit, and make sure we stay several steps ahead of any pesky auditors or customer complaints.

What you'll actually
do
:

• Lead and develop a small-but-capable QA team
• Own HACCP, BRC, and retailer audits like a boss
• Create sampling plans that work in the real world
• Deal with deviations like they owe you money
• Ensure all quality systems and lab records are as clean as your conscience
• Influence production teams without shouting or bribing (though we've tried both)

You'll be the person who sees the problem coming before it arrives, corrects it before it escalates, and documents it before anyone else has even noticed.

What we're looking for:

• Degree in Food Science, Microbiology, Chemistry, or similar
• Experience in a food manufacturing QA or technical role
• Deep understanding of BRC and retailer CoPs
• Someone who's confident, credible, and doesn't rely on five PowerPoints to make a point
• Big on detail, low on drama

We're not naming the product here. That's deliberate. If we tell you what we make, you'll think you know the business. You don't. Not yet. But if you're curious, experienced, and ready to step into a role where you'll have real influence - then we should talk.

Salary?
Up to 50k. Enough to make your mates in non-food QA wonder why they're still doing it.

No endless forms. No waffle. Just send your CV and we'll take it from there.
