● Identify and quarantine any non-conforming raw materials, raising holds and non-conformance reports as required

● Maintain accurate, audit-ready intake and testing records

● Liaise with suppliers and the wider technical team on quality queries, certificates of analysis, and traceability documentation

● Support internal and external audits (SALSA, APHA, customer) with intake QC records and evidence

● Flag recurring supplier quality issues to the Technical Manager

Qualifications

● Food safety qualification (Level 2 minimum; Level 3 desirable)

● HACCP awareness training

● GCSEs or equivalent including English and Maths

Experience

● Experience in a QA or technical role within food or feed manufacturing

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
