If you're the kind of person who spots a label error from 3 metres away , thinks 'that doesn't look right' before anyone else does, and gets a weird amount of satisfaction from a properly completed QA record I need to talk to you.
I'm recruiting for a Quality Assurance Technician role at a busy, established food manufacturing site in Wigan . This is a hands-on QA position working closely with Production to make sure everything leaving site is safe, compliant, and exactly as it should be .
You'll be part of the team that keeps standards high, customers happy, and audits calm (no last-minute chaos please).
