If youve ever found yourself as the go-to person for fixing the technical mess when others can't, keep reading. This chilled, fresh food site needs someone who isnt afraid to get their hands dirty (but still passes the white glove test) to raise the bar, steady the ship, and drive quality.
Heres what youll be up to:
- Making sure every quality, safety, and legislative box is ticked. Every. Single. Time.
- Youll be the face (and voice) of the site when it comes to managing customer relationships and ensuring standards arent just met but exceeded.
- Training, developing, and holding a team together thats seen a lot of turnover recently. Think Quality Assurance, Compliance, Hygiene the whole gang reports in to you.
- Own the technical budget and have an eye for continuous improvement no pointless KPIs here. Were talking real, measurable change.
- Roll up your sleeves on root cause investigations for any non-compliance. Were after someone whos as comfortable diving into data as they are leading from the front.
- And yes, youll be bringing fresh ideas to audit programmes, health and safety, and the ever-growing challenge of change management.
The Basics We Need:
- Experience in chilled food manufacturing? Check. Worked with the big retailers before? Even better.
- Level 4 in HACCP and Food Safety if this isnt on your CV, this role isnt for you.
- Solid technical expertise in the premium end of food manufacturing ideally, you know your way around Tesco PIU, and if youve tackled a BRC audit, thats a big tick.
- Strong communicator we need someone who can stand their ground
- A fixer, a mentor, a team builder. This isnt about managing, its about leading.
