Some Technical roles are all about keeping the wheels turning.

This one gives you the opportunity to improve how things are done.

A well-established food manufacturing business is looking for a Factory FSQA Manager to support two UK operations, helping drive standards across food safety, quality and compliance.

It’s a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being part of the operation - working closely with Production, Engineering and Hygiene teams to make sure standards don’t just exist on paper, but actually happen on the factory floor.

The business itself is stable, growing and investing in its operations, with a strong reputation in its sector and long-standing customer relationships.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take ownership of factory food safety and quality systems, ensuring standards are maintained while continuously looking for ways to improve processes and performance.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing site quality systems and food safety standards
• Leading BRC and HACCP compliance activities
• Supporting internal and external audits
• Driving improvements across hygiene, food safety and quality
• Managing non-conformances, complaints and corrective actions
• Working closely with Production and Engineering teams
• Monitoring trends and site performance data to reduce repeat issues
• Supporting allergen management and food safety culture initiatives
• Managing environmental monitoring and validation programmes
• Coaching and supporting members of the wider technical team

This is a role where visibility matters.

You’ll need to build relationships across the factory, challenge where necessary, and help create a culture where standards are consistently high.

What they’re looking for

You’ll ideally come from a food manufacturing background and already have a solid understanding of factory technical operations.

The right person will likely have:

• Experience within Technical or Quality roles in food manufacturing
• Strong working knowledge of BRC and HACCP
• Experience managing audits and technical systems
• A practical, solutions-focused mindset
• Confidence working cross-functionally with Operations and Engineering
• Strong organisation and communication skills
• The ability to influence people positively across all levels of the site

Why consider it?

Because it’s the type of role where you can genuinely make an impact.

You’ll have autonomy, visibility within the business, and the opportunity to help shape standards across multiple operations - without layers of unnecessary bureaucracy slowing things down. xwzovoh
