  • Supplier Approval: Supporting the supplier approval process, including document review and risk assessment to maintain our approved supplier list.
  • Audit Support: Assisting with preparations, documentation, and follow-up actions for internal, customer, and third-party audits (e.g., BRCGS).
  • Compliance Systems: Maintaining and updating crucial third-party compliance systems, including the Sedex platform.
  • Technical Administration: Ensuring technical specifications and compliance documents are up-to-date in technical platforms (e.g., FoodExperts).
  • Land Use Compliance: Assisting with the technical compliance aspects related to land management and use, including necessary updates and applications with the Land Registry.

Skills and Experience Required

  • Proven experience working in a Quality Assurance or Technical role within the food manufacturing industry (fresh produce experience is highly beneficial).
  • Excellent understanding of HACCP, GMP, and Food Safety standards.
  • Familiarity with retailer technical requirements and industry standards such as Red Tractor.
  • Strong attention to detail and excellent record-keeping skills.
  • Proficiency in using quality management systems and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel).
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple tasks, and communicate effectively with all factory personnel.
  • Relevant degree (ideally in Food)

Why Join FFF?

We offer a great working environment where quality and safety are paramount. You will have the opportunity to develop your technical skills and contribute directly to the success and reputation of a leading food business.
