Quality Auditor (Shift) - Selsey Site

About the role:

Are you an experienced Quality Auditor looking for a fresh challenge or do you have Manufacturing / Production experience want to start a career in Quality/Technical?

If so, we would love to hear from you!

You will be working at our Selsey Manufacturing site which is the biggest baby leaf factory within Europe!

We are one of the largest employers in the Chichester area, employing more than 1,200 talented individuals and we are growing!

A day in the life of a Natures Way Foods QA:

We make delicious salad meals, coleslaw, potato salad, bagged salads and leafy salad bowls. Our products are stocked by leading Retail supermarkets & restaurant chains and consumed by millions of customers in the UK, so you may well have eaten something made by us!

As a core member of the Quality Auditing team you will be responsible for ensuring the highest food safety and quality of our products. Our products have a short shelf life and raw material can be impacted by the weather, seasons and many other factors.

You will be responsible for monitoring and enforcing product food safety and quality, systems, processes, procedures & GMP to ensure they comply with internal and customer requirements and specification, including auditing and closure of non-conformances. You will be carrying out GMP swabbing, DQA, shelf life and other assessments to ensure our products are safe and of high quality.

Food safety is extremely important to us so you must be a good communicator and confident to stop the production line if you feel we need to assess anything.

No two days are the same and although you will have regular tasks to complete you will also have autonomy to plan your day around these priorities.

You will use our AX system so some IT skills would be good as well as a keen eye for detail and a passion for ensuring food safety.

If you get satisfaction from taking pride in your work, like attention to detail and problem solving, then you would be a great fit for our Quality Auditing team.
