Quality assurance manager
plant based role
- Remote
- Varies
- Qualification
- Typically B.Tech Food Technology.
What the work involves
Day to day
Ensuring food or agri-processing output meets standard - testing raw material and finished product, monitoring hygiene and process control, managing certification audits and handling complaints and recalls.
Who this suits
Fit
Methodical food technology and science graduates. Every processing plant needs the function, export-oriented units need it more, and tightening food safety regulation has made the role harder to do without.
The honest reality
Read this one
You are the person who stops production, which makes you unpopular with the people whose targets you are blocking - that tension is the job, not a phase. Plants run shifts and so do you. Sites are usually in industrial areas away from cities. When something goes wrong, responsibility lands on quality regardless of where the failure originated.
