Product Quality Assurance Co-ordinator
Are you passionate about food quality, attention to detail, and ensuring customers receive the very best products? I'm looking for a proactive and organised Product Quality Assurance Co-ordinator to join a growing team and play a key role in maintaining the highest standards across our fresh produce operations.
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of a dynamic business, helping to ensure that premium fruit entering our packhouse and leaving as finished products consistently meets customer expectations, food safety requirements, and industry standards.
The Role:
As a Product Quality Assurance Co-ordinator, you'll work closely with multiple departments to ensure product quality, stock accuracy, traceability, and compliance throughout the supply chain.
* Managing stock control
* Allocating stock to customer orders based on availability and priority
* Coordinating stock distribution
* Conducting raw material inspections and quality checks
* Investigating quality concerns and supporting corrective actions
* Verifying compliance with customer specifications and food safety standards
* Supporting product sampling, shelf‑life management, and quality reporting
* Carrying out routine verification checks on equipment
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, flexibility around working hours is required. Opportunities may also arise to support other areas of the business during quieter periods.
You:
* Experience within a quality assurance or quality control role in the fresh produce or food sector
* Food Safety Level 2 certification
* Knowledge of retail and food safety standards
* Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities
* Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills
* Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office applications
* Confident communication skills with the ability to build relationships across teams and with external stakeholders
* A positive, "can-do" attitude and the confidence to challenge when quality standards are at risk
* Customer‑facing experience would be an advantage but is not essential
Why Apply:
* Salary £37,900
* Discretionary annual bonus
* Private medical
* Gain exposure across multiple areas of the business, from production and farming to commercial operations
* Work in a varied role where no two days are the same
* Contribute directly to customer satisfaction and business success
* Develop your skills within a supportive and collaborative environment
