• Deliver Quality compliance training to production staff in line with QA schedules.
• Provide hands-on QA support during production shifts.
• Ensure GMP compliance, accurate documentation, and consistent adherence to processes.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and maintain high standards of food safety and quality.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.
• Experience or understanding of high-care and high-risk cook/chill processes is desirable.
