We're working with a well-known food manufacturer in Yatala who are currently looking for a QA Coordinator that actually likes being on the floor. If you'd rather be next to the product and the people than stuck behind a desk, keep reading.
You'll be on the production line every day doing real-time checks, backing up GMP standards and helping the team make practical improvements that stick. You'll make sure product consistently meets customer specs, food safety requirements and regulatory standards. You'll also keep the site's QA systems, paperwork and audit readiness in good shape, with the operations team behind you.
What you'll be doing:
Running QA checks and verifying quality and food safety as it happens as well as internal audits & compliance
Keeping QA, production and logistics records accurate and up to date
Assisting with external audits
Making solid calls on line issues and escalating to management when needed
Investigating non-conformances, complaints and quality incidents,
then helping put CAPA actions in place
Coordinating in-process and finished product sampling for testing
Managing calibration schedules for quality-critical equipment
Spotting trends and pitching in on continuous improvement
Training and supporting production staff on food safety, quality standards and GMP
What you'll bring:
Confidence on the production floor and the knack of earning the trust of the people working it
A qualification in Food Science, or similar, or robust hands-on industry experience
Transparent communication with everyone from operators to management
Practical problem-solving and the ability to make valuable decisions under pressure
A solid grip on HACCP, GMP and quality systems
