Position Overview
The Food Quality Controller role in Riyadh is a shift-based, production-facing quality assurance position within a food manufacturing environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for checking incoming raw material quality, monitoring production line Critical Control Points (CCPs), ensuring full compliance with HACCP, ISO 22000, ISO 9001, and GMP standards, and maintaining the highest levels of hygiene and food safety throughout daily operations. Candidates must be available in Riyadh, hold a valid Saudi Driving License, own a car, and be immediately ready to contribute with full dedication and professionalism.
Why This Role Matters: As a Food Quality Controller in Riyadh, you are the front line of food safety and quality assurance within a production environment where standards directly protect consumer health. You inspect and approve raw materials before they enter production, monitor Critical Control Points (CCPs) on the production line to prevent food safety failures, apply HACCP and ISO 22000 principles daily to maintain regulatory compliance, bring bakery and pastry production knowledge to quality assessments that require genuine product understanding, and maintain the meticulous documentation and vigilance that professional food quality management demands.
Key Responsibilities

- Inspect and evaluate incoming raw materials to verify quality standards are met before entering the production process
- Document inspection results accurately and flag non-conforming materials to the relevant production or procurement team
Production Line CCP Monitoring

- Ensure that all CCP records are completed accurately and that corrective actions are taken promptly when deviations occur
Food Safety & Hygiene Compliance

- Assist with bakery, pastry, and kitchen operations quality checks, applying relevant product knowledge to quality assessments
- Work flexibly across assigned production shifts, demonstrating full commitment and accountability to all assigned responsibilities
Qualifications & Requirements
Experience Requirements
- Minimum experience in bakery, pastry, or kitchen operations — candidates with hands-on production floor quality experience are strongly preferred
- Practical knowledge and understanding of HACCP, ISO 22000, ISO 9001, and GMP in a food production environment

- Fluency in English — both written and spoken — for professional communication and documentation
- Proficiency in MS Office and general computer skills for record-keeping and reporting
Personal Attributes
