Description:
Quality Manager
Fenland area
£45,000
We don't want a quality manager who hides in an office writing reports nobody reads. We want someone who lives on the factory floor, spots problems before they become incidents, and makes food safety something people want to get right.
The job
Run the QA operation across a busy manufacturing site. Six QA Assistants report to you. You report to the Head of Quality & Technical. HACCP, GMP, allergens, calibration, traceability, BRCGS, you will own it all.
You'll be the person customers trust, auditors respect, and the shop floor actually listens to.
What you'll be doing
Leading a visible, hands-on QA function
Keeping the site audit-ready every day, not just audit week
Driving root cause analysis and CAPA that actually closes the loop
Building a food safety culture people buy into
Coaching and developing your team
Owning complaints, non-conformances and recall readinessWhat you'll need
Degree in Food Science, Quality, or equivalent experience
5+ years in food manufacturing quality, 3+ managing people
HACCP Level 3 minimum, strong BRCGS knowledge, internal audit experience
The confidence to challenge poor practice and the credibility to make it stickApply now. Bring your experience, your standards, and your backbone. We'll bring the rest
