About the Role
As the Quality Supervisor, you'll play a vital role in driving product quality, compliance, and continuous improvement across our manufacturing site. You will lead and develop the laboratory team, ensure efficient lab operations, and act as the key quality liaison across supply chain functions. This role is responsible for the daily release of finished goods, the resolution of non-compliance issues, and the execution of quality systems that support plant performance.

What You'll Do
In this hands-on role, you'll manage the daily operations of the quality lab, ensure team coverage, and support personnel development.

Your responsibilities include auditing and maintaining SOPs, managing the HACCP program, supporting innovation trials, and partnering with R&D on plant testing and scale-ups. You'll analyze customer complaints and product holds, monitor raw material losses, and serve as the site's point of contact during regulatory inspections. With a strong focus on operational excellence, you'll promote a culture of safety, compliance, and continuous improvement while driving World Class Manufacturing (WCM) and sustainability objectives.
About You
You are a detail-oriented and adaptable professional with the flexibility to work days, off-shifts, and weekends as needed to meet factory demands. With a bachelor's degree in microbiology, engineering, food science, or a related field, you bring at least 3 years of experience in Quality departments or laboratory environments. You have a proven track record leading quality initiatives in complex manufacturing settings, including factory expansions and change management.
