Quality Assurance Supervisor – Gloucester

Quality Assurance Supervisor

Gloucester or Glasgow | Full-Time | Permanent

Help us shape the future of quality in a growing food business.

At Severn and Wye Smokery Ltd, we produce, innovate and develop high-quality salmon and fish products for major retailers, foodservice operators, wholesalers and export markets across the UK and beyond.

We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern food manufacturing and are investing significantly in our people, systems and facilities as part of our ambitious growth plans.

We are now looking for experienced Quality Assurance Supervisors to join our Technical teams in Gloucester and Bellshill, Glasgow.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants more than a routine QA role. You will have the chance to influence site standards, develop people, improve systems and play a key role in protecting the safety, quality and reputation of our products.

The Role

Reporting to the Technical Manager, you will lead the day-to-day Quality Assurance function and work closely with Production, Hygiene, Engineering and Technical teams.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and supporting the site QA team.
• Maintaining and improving the Quality Management System.
• Supporting BRCGS, HACCP, customer and legal compliance.
• Conducting audits, inspections, traceability exercises and quality checks.
• Managing environmental monitoring and microbiological sampling.
• Investigating complaints, non-conformances and out-of-specification results.
• Overseeing product hold, quarantine and release procedures.
• Driving corrective actions and continuous improvement.
• Promoting a strong and positive food safety culture across the site.

About You

You will ideally have:

• QA or technical experience within food manufacturing.
• Good knowledge of BRCGS, HACCP, GMP, allergens and traceability.
• Experience with internal audits and root cause investigations.
• The confidence to challenge standards and influence positive change.
• Strong leadership, communication and organisational skills.
• A recognised Food Safety or HACCP qualification.

Experience within seafood or chilled food manufacturing would be beneficial, but it is not essential.

Why Join Severn and Wye Smokery Ltd?

You will be joining a successful and growing business where your ideas, experience and contribution will be valued.

This role offers:

• Genuine ownership and influence over site quality standards.
• The opportunity to lead and develop a QA team.
• Ongoing training and professional development.
• Support from experienced site and Group Technical teams.
• The chance to contribute to meaningful improvement projects.
• Competitive salary.

We have opportunities available in both Gloucester and Bellshill, Glasgow.

Bring your experience, raise the standards and grow with us.
