Position Overview
This Quality Assurance Coordinator role is a practical, floor-level quality position inside a protein processing operation in Dubai. The job is to make sure food safety plans and quality standards are followed every day. You will perform daily HACCP checks, conduct raw material inspections and verification, monitor processing activities for adherence to quality standards, take product samples for analysis and evaluation, check product formulation and specifications, and confirm proper product identification, coding, and storage conditions. On the compliance side, you will run hold and release procedures with production and section heads, identify, report, and manage non-conforming products, keep accurate quality control reports and records, and watch hygiene standards for GMP and GHP compliance. You will also oversee cleaning and sanitation, make sure sampling practices and documentation are correct, maintain measuring devices, and support continuous product quality improvement.
Why This Role Matters: In meat and protein processing, small gaps in temperature, hygiene, or identification can become big food safety problems. As QA Coordinator, your checks, sampling, and hold and release decisions keep unsafe or off-spec product from reaching customers.
