  • Monitor quality performance, prepare quality and compliance reports, escalate key risks to senior management and support product, process or equipment changes from a quality assurance perspective.


Minimum Requirements:

  • A relevant bachelor’s degree or higher qualification, together with at least five years of relevant QA/QC or food manufacturing quality-systems experience; or an equivalent combination of relevant qualification and substantial practical experience.
  • Experience managing or maintaining quality assurance systems in a manufacturing or food production environment, including quality control programmes, certification processes, compliance systems, corrective actions, document control, product release, traceability and non-conformance management.
  • Practical working knowledge of RMP, HACCP, GMP, GHP or comparable quality and food safety systems, including audit processes, CAPA, NCR, root-cause analysis, product specification and traceability processes.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead QA/QC staff, communicate quality expectations clearly and work with production, operations, procurement, product development, regulators, customers and suppliers.
  • Strong written documentation, analytical, reporting, communication, time-management and problem-solving skills.
  • Candidates must be able to lawfully work in New Zealand by the start of employment.


Preferred Experience
