Ideally you will have some professional experience within a similar Technical/QA role in a food environment, but skills can be taught and if you have the enthusiasm and drive to develop within quality assurance this is an excellent first role.

 

Understanding the chain of custody within the food environment and a background of working on small to mid-sized quality improvement projects, such as implementing new procedures and defining new supporting documentation - will be key.

 

You will be an excellent communicator who can work alone with a proactive and innovative approach to problem solving.
