Position Overview
This Associate Quality Assurance role is about careful, repeatable inspection. You start by reading SOPs and specifications so you know what good looks like for every butchery and poultry product. Then you select raw material and finished product samples and apply suitable inspection methods — assessing weight, cut specifications, temperature control, and packaging integrity. You use and calibrate instruments such as thermometers, scales, and moisture analysers so measurements stay accurate. When you analyse test results and inspection data, you look for deviations and non-conformities tied to food safety and quality standards, then report findings, document the issue, and recommend corrective actions in line with HACCP and GMP. Strong relationships with production employees and managers help you keep quality compliance steady across the process. The role suits people with butchery or poultry inspection experience, a food safety certificate, sharp attention to detail, and clear communication.
Why This Role Matters: Fresh meat and poultry leave little room for error. Your checks on temperature, cuts, weight, and packaging protect customers and the brand, and your records show the facility is under control.
