The QA function across intake, raw materials and factory operations

The Hygiene team, working closely with the Group Hygiene Manager

Site-wide technical compliance and continuous improvement initiatives

Maintain and develop HACCP and TACCP plans

Drive technical standards, policies and procedures that support consistent site performance

Build strong cross-functional relationships with operations, procurement, field technical teams and group technical colleagues

Lead effective incident management, root-cause analysis and trend reporting

Experience and skills

We're looking for someone with:

Proven technical or food safety management experience within fresh produce or food manufacturing

Strong knowledge of food safety legislation and industry standards

Leadership experience with the ability to develop, support and motivate teams

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

HACCP and Food Safety qualifications (essential)

A degree in a food-related discipline is beneficial but not essential

What this role offers
