- Liaising closely with Production, Technical, QA, Engineering and Planning teams to maintain line efficiency.
- Identifying, investigating and resolving issues that may affect production performance or product quality.
- Ensuring compliance with HACCP, GMP, Food Safety, Health & Safety and site procedures at all times.
- Supporting audits, customer visits and continuous improvement activities where required.
- Monitoring line performance and proactively highlighting opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
- Acting as a key point of contact on the line and supporting colleagues to ensure standards are maintained.
What we’re looking for:
This is a skilled role that requires strong attention to detail, accountability, and the ability to work confidently in a fast-paced food manufacturing environment.
