  • Lead audit and assessment activities to ensure quality systems meet GFSI, customer and regulatory requirements
  • Manage and improve processing control standards to support product quality, customer, regulatory and food safety outcomes
  • Act as site HACCP Coordinator, supporting the review and implementation of HACCP systems
  • Review, update and maintain the PLM database in collaboration with Technical and R&D teams
  • Create and maintain specifications, work instructions, SOPs and job aides within PLM/IL
  • Work with R&D and Regulatory to review new raw materials, product information and specifications
  • Identify potential allergen, labelling or food safety impacts from new materials or process changes
  • Support continuous improvement by identifying gaps and working with key stakeholders to improve current processes
  • Provide relief support for Site FSQ audit duties when required

Qualifications

What we’re looking for

  • Can review, maintain and improve systems, standards and processes
  • Are confident working with specifications, product information and technical documentation
  • Communicate clearly with different teams and stakeholders
  • Have strong attention to detail and a practical approach to problem solving
  • Are comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
  • Experience with PLM systems, audits, specification management, food manufacturing, allergens, labelling or regulatory requirements will be highly regarded.

Why join us?

  • Make a real impact on food safety, quality and customer outcomes
  • Work closely with FSQ, R&D, Technical, Regulatory, Operations and New Zealand teams
  • Be part of a hands-on manufacturing environment where your work makes a difference
