Are you the person who spots the problem before everyone else does?

Do you enjoy turning audits, risks and non-conformances into real improvements? And are you passionate about quality, food safety and creating a workplace where doing things properly is simply part of the culture?

Then this could be the role for you.

We’re looking for a Quality Systems Manager to take ownership of the organisation’s Quality, Food Safety and OHS systems and help drive a culture of continuous improvement across the business.

What’s on your plate?

You’ll be responsible for:

Owning and continually improving the Quality and Food Safety Management Systems

Keeping the business audit-ready and ensuring ongoing FSSC 22000 compliance

Leading internal, supplier, customer and certification audits

Taking charge of non-conformances, complaints, CAPAs and root-cause investigations

Driving food safety, hazard analysis, risk assessments and traceability

Leading OHS risk assessments, incident investigations and workplace safety initiatives

Monitoring quality, food safety and OHS trends and turning the data into action

Working closely with Production, Engineering, Procurement and Warehousing to improve processes

Managing supplier approval and incoming-material quality controls

Building employee awareness through training, coaching and engagement

Leading and developing the Quality team

What we’re looking for

A relevant Diploma or Degree in Quality, Food Science, Food Technology, Engineering, Environmental Health, Safety Management or a related field

FSSC 22000 training

Internal or Lead Auditor training

Formal OHS training such as SAMTRAC

Solid experience in food manufacturing, food packaging or another regulated manufacturing environment

Proven experience dealing with certification, customer and regulatory audits

Strong knowledge of food safety systems, HACCP/hazard analysis, risk assessment and CAPA

Practical OHS and incident investigation experience

Excellent organisational, analytical and communication skills

And most importantly...

We’re looking for someone who is a natural leader, a problem-solver rather than simply a problem-finder, detail-driven without losing sight of the bigger picture, comfortable challenging the status quo and able to influence people at all levels.

You’ll need to be practical, resilient, solutions-focused and genuinely passionate about getting things right.

If you’re ready to take ownership, make an impact and help build a culture where quality and safety are everyone’s responsibility, we’d love to hear from you.
