Key Responsibilities
Temperature Monitoring & Cold Chain Verification
- Monitor and verify cold chain integrity across all temperature-controlled storage, handling, and distribution operations — recording chiller and freezer temperatures at defined monitoring intervals, verifying that refrigerated transport vehicles maintain required temperature ranges throughout loading, transit, and unloading, and ensuring that all temperature monitoring data is accurately recorded and stored in a format that supports SFDA regulatory compliance and cold chain audit traceability
- Investigate cold chain temperature deviations — determining the cause and duration of any temperature excursion, evaluating the impact on product safety and quality based on applicable time-temperature tolerance data, documenting findings accurately, and coordinating with operations and quality management to determine the appropriate disposition of any product affected by a cold chain temperature deviation
- Calibrate and maintain temperature monitoring equipment — ensuring that all thermometers, data loggers, and temperature recording devices used in cold chain monitoring are correctly calibrated at required intervals, that calibration records are maintained accurately, and that any out-of-tolerance monitoring equipment is immediately removed from service and replaced
- Support the continuous improvement of cold chain monitoring systems — identifying gaps in the current temperature monitoring programme, proposing improvements to monitoring frequency, coverage, or technology, and contributing to the implementation of enhanced cold chain controls that reduce temperature deviation risks and strengthen SFDA regulatory compliance across Tanmiah’s distribution operations
Receiving & Dispatch Inspection
- Conduct thorough receiving inspections of all inbound product deliveries — evaluating supplier product quality, checking delivery temperatures, verifying product labelling and traceability information, confirming shelf life and date coding compliance, inspecting packaging integrity and condition, and accepting or rejecting deliveries based on defined receiving inspection criteria aligned with Tanmiah’s quality standards and SFDA requirements
- Conduct dispatch inspections of all outbound product shipments — verifying product identity, condition, temperature, labelling, and traceability before authorising release for delivery, ensuring that only product meeting Tanmiah’s quality standards and SFDA compliance requirements is despatched to customers, and accurately recording dispatch inspection results in quality management documentation
- Coordinate with warehouse, logistics, and transport teams to manage hold and quarantine situations — ensuring that any product placed on quality hold at receiving or dispatch is clearly identified, correctly segregated from releasable stock, and efficiently dispositioned through the approved quality decision-making process
- Prepare and maintain receiving and dispatch inspection records — ensuring that all inspection results, product acceptance or rejection decisions, and hold/quarantine actions are accurately documented with full traceability of product lot, supplier, date, and inspector details in the format required for SFDA compliance and internal audit purposes
Storage Condition Monitoring & Warehouse Compliance
- Monitor product storage conditions across chilled, frozen, and ambient warehouse areas — conducting regular inspections of storage temperatures, relative humidity levels, air circulation, pest prevention measures, general warehouse hygiene standards, and FIFO (First In First Out) stock rotation compliance to ensure that all stored products are maintained in conditions that protect their quality and food safety throughout the storage period
- Verify compliance with product segregation requirements — ensuring that raw and ready-to-eat products, allergen-containing and allergen-free products, and food and non-food items are correctly separated in storage to prevent cross-contamination and cross-contact in compliance with HACCP and SFDA food safety requirements
- Identify and escalate storage condition non-conformances — reporting temperature deviations, hygiene failures, incorrect stock rotation, product segregation breaches, or any other storage compliance issues to quality management immediately, and coordinating prompt corrective actions that minimise food safety risk and restore compliant storage conditions
- Conduct regular storage area hygiene inspections — evaluating cleaning and sanitation practices, pest activity indicators, facility condition, and staff hygiene compliance in warehouse and cold storage areas, and documenting findings in structured inspection records that support continuous improvement of warehouse hygiene standards
SFDA Compliance, HACCP & Food Safety Support
- Support SFDA (Saudi Food and Drug Authority) food safety regulatory compliance across warehouse and distribution operations — ensuring that all applicable SFDA regulations, standards, and circulars relevant to food storage and distribution in Saudi Arabia are understood, implemented, and consistently adhered to across Tanmiah’s warehousing and logistics activities
- Support the implementation and maintenance of the HACCP system for warehouse and distribution operations — monitoring Critical Control Points relevant to cold chain and distribution, verifying that CCP monitoring activities are being completed correctly, and supporting HACCP documentation updates as the distribution operation evolves
- Contribute to the maintenance of ISO 22000 food safety management system compliance in the warehouse and distribution function — supporting internal food safety team activities, participating in management reviews, and assisting with the preparation and maintenance of ISO 22000-related documentation for the distribution quality operations area
- Provide active support during SFDA regulatory inspections and internal food safety audits — assisting auditors and inspectors with facility access, documentation retrieval, and question responses, ensuring that audit activities proceed smoothly, and contributing to the preparation of prompt, accurate responses to any audit findings or improvement recommendations
Customer Complaints, Documentation & Reporting
- Manage customer complaint follow-up activities related to product quality, temperature, or condition issues in the warehouse and distribution operation — logging complaints promptly, conducting structured investigations, identifying root causes, coordinating corrective actions with operations teams, and communicating outcomes to customers and management in a professional, timely manner
- Prepare and maintain comprehensive quality documentation and records for all warehouse and distribution quality activities — including temperature logs, inspection records, non-conformance reports, corrective action tracking, complaint records, calibration documentation, and all other quality records required for SFDA compliance, ISO 22000 certification maintenance, and internal audit readiness
- Prepare regular quality performance reports for distribution and warehouse operations — summarising temperature monitoring results, inspection outcomes, non-conformance trends, customer complaint data, and corrective action status in clear, accurate reports that provide quality management with the visibility needed to drive continuous improvement
- Support continuous improvement initiatives in warehouse and distribution quality operations — contributing observations, data analysis, and practical quality improvement suggestions that strengthen food safety compliance, reduce non-conformances, and enhance the overall quality performance of Tanmiah’s distribution network
