Position Overview
The Quality Controller at Gold Fin International’s Frozen Seafood Processing Plant in Duqm is a critical on-floor quality assurance role covering the entire seafood processing chain. From inspecting incoming raw seafood for freshness and compliance, to monitoring processing, grading, freezing, glazing, packing, and cold storage operations — you will be the quality gatekeeper at every stage. You will conduct in-process and final product inspections, maintain all quality and traceability records, support internal and regulatory audits, and actively promote food safety and hygiene awareness among production staff in a cold processing environment on rotational shifts.
Why This Role Matters: As Quality Controller at Gold Fin International Duqm, you protect the integrity of every frozen seafood product that leaves the plant — ensuring HACCP, GMP, and SSOP compliance at every step, monitoring temperatures and water activity throughout freezing and cold storage, verifying packaging and labeling accuracy, implementing corrective actions for quality deviations, supporting customer and regulatory audits, and building the food safety culture that underpins Gold Fin’s international reputation as Oman’s leading seafood processor.
Key Responsibilities
Raw Material Inspection & Receiving
- Inspect all incoming raw seafood upon arrival — assessing freshness, quality parameters, and full compliance with product specifications before acceptance
- Identify and document any raw material non-conformances and escalate findings to the relevant supervisor for immediate corrective action
- Ensure proper handling and storage of all received raw seafood to maintain cold chain integrity from the moment of delivery
In-Process Quality Monitoring & Inspections
- Monitor and control all processing operations including grading, freezing, glazing, packing, and cold storage to ensure consistent quality and compliance throughout the production run
- Conduct structured in-process quality checks at critical control points as defined by the HACCP plan and plant SOPs
- Monitor and accurately record temperatures at all stages of processing and cold storage to ensure cold chain compliance at all times
- Verify that packaging, labeling, net weights, and product specifications meet internal and customer-defined standards on every production batch
Final Product Inspection & Release
- Conduct thorough final product inspections before release, ensuring all finished goods meet quality, safety, and specification requirements
- Verify that all final packaging, product weights, labels, and traceability codes are accurate and complete prior to dispatch
- Place non-conforming products on hold and initiate corrective action procedures to prevent substandard products from reaching customers
Documentation, Traceability & Corrective Actions
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date quality records, inspection reports, and full product traceability documentation for all processing activities
- Identify, report, and document all quality deviations with supporting evidence and implement or escalate appropriate corrective and preventive actions
- Ensure all HACCP records, temperature logs, and sanitation verification documents are completed accurately and on time every shift
Audits, Compliance & Food Safety Culture
- Ensure full and consistent compliance with HACCP, GMP, SSOP, and all applicable international seafood quality and food safety standards
- Support internal quality audits, customer inspections, and regulatory authority visits — preparing documentation and guiding auditors through the plant as required
- Actively promote food safety, personal hygiene, and quality awareness among production staff through daily floor presence, coaching, and communication
Qualifications & Requirements
Educational Requirements
- Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Food Technology, Fisheries Science, Microbiology, Biotechnology, or a closely related field
Experience Requirements
- 2 to 5 years of hands-on quality control experience within a frozen seafood processing plant or food manufacturing environment
- Solid working knowledge of HACCP, GMP, SSOP, and seafood quality and safety standards in a production setting
- Proven ability to work effectively in a cold processing environment and adapt to rotational shift schedules including nights and weekends
Key Skills for Success
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy in quality inspection, temperature monitoring, and documentation tasks
- Good written and verbal English communication skills for reporting, audit support, and team coordination
