A site-based senior food Quality Management position requiring drive and leadership in this fast-paced, complex chilled food business.
If you’re looking for career acceleration this chilled food business delivers, with numerous examples of promotion and progression. They supply all the major retailers with complex chilled, private label and branded products, giving you the opportunity to be customer-facing and build your knowledge and reputation.
So, what do they do to nurture talent? When you join, you’ll have a full induction into the business, followed up with your projected development plan with your manager and HR. Ongoing training both internally and externally means they’re investing in your future. Key to this will be your ability to measure yourself against quantitative results in the business.
We’re looking for a QA Manager with a strong track record of developing teams, an inspiring leader who will support and coach them. You’re focused on detail, hands-on in the factory when necessary, driving the food safety and quality culture across all site stakeholders. The ability to step back, assess problems and come up with decisive solutions are imperative in this pacey chilled food environment.
There is a huge amount of NPD activity here, therefore your ability to communicate effectively cross-functionally, know where the priorities lie, including making tough decisions on occasion are imperative.
A relevant degree in a food science subject or similar is ideal, HACCP Level 3 as a minimum, with at least three years’ food manufacturing experience. Above all, we’re looking for a confident, resilient leader, as happy talking to the customer as you are talking to third-party accreditation regulators.
