About Us
At Vitacress we’re on a mission to produce top-quality products every single time, and we’re looking for someone who shares that drive. If you care about getting things right, aren't afraid to ask questions, and enjoy solving problems before they become big ones, this might be the role for you.
The Role
You’ll be the go-to person for making sure our Quality Management System (QMS) is running smoothly—from raw materials all the way through to finished packed products. You’ll lead the way on audits, support production teams, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks when it comes to product safety and quality.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Keeping our QMS in check by carrying out regular audits and inspections.
* Making sure we’re following Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Hygienic Practices (GHP), and HACCP systems.
* Spotting issues early, then digging into the root cause and helping the team fix them fast with real, lasting solutions.
* Analysing trends from audits and non-conformances to find patterns and make smart, data-driven improvements.
* Checking product quality from start to finish—raw materials to final packed product—and flagging any risks straight away.
* Investigating anything that’s out of spec and making sure it’s properly recorded and acted on.
* Running traceability exercises and mass balance checks to keep our systems watertight.
* Carrying out quality equipment calibrations so we know our tools are accurate and reliable.
What We’re Looking For
* Hands-on experience with quality systems (QMS), HACCP, GMP and GHP.
* Confident carrying out audits and inspections in a manufacturing or production environment.
* A problem-solver who’s comfortable digging into the detail and driving improvement.
* Good communicator who works well with people across teams.
* Strong sense of responsibility—someone who takes pride in doing things right.
Health & Safety
We take safety seriously—for our people, our products, and our customers. You’ll play a key role in making sure safety and quality go hand in hand, and that everyone works together to meet our legal and ethical standards.
At Vitacress, we’re proud of the care we put into everything we do—from how we treat our people to how we grow our produce. If that sounds like the kind of place you’d like to be a part of, we’d love to hear from you.
