Food Safety and Quality Specialist

Overview

Lead food safety and quality in a hands-on manufacturing role through to October. This is a busy, highly visible role where you’ll spend time on the plant floor working closely with operations, not just behind a desk. You’ll play a key part in maintaining compliance, supporting audits, and ensuring strong food safety and quality outcomes across the site, with occasional travel (2–3 trips) to Timaru.

What you will do

• Internal and external audits, corrective actions, and compliance activities
• Manage customer complaints, investigations, and NCR processes end to end
• Support and maintain RMP, FSSC22000, HACCP, and quality systems compliance
• Partner with production and cross-functional teams to embed food safety culture
• Support product release, supplier assurance, traceability, and recall readiness
• Contribute to continuous improvement and risk-based quality initiatives
