Delicut — a Dubai-based company committed to making healthy eating easier through fresh, nutritious, and high-quality meals — is seeking an experienced and standards-driven Senior Quality Officer to uphold quality and food safety across its ready-meal production operations. You will oversee quality controls, ensure food safety compliance, and work closely with the kitchen and operations teams to maintain consistent quality from production to delivery. With a minimum of 5 years of QA/QC experience in food manufacturing (7–8 years ideal), this is a high-visibility opportunity to protect the quality of meals that customers across the UAE enjoy every day.
About This Role — Senior Quality Officer at Delicut Dubai
Company: Delicut — a fresh, healthy meal company where quality and food safety sit at the very heart of everything the business does
Production Scope: Ready-meal production operations — quality oversight from incoming materials through production and finished product to final delivery
Core Focus: QA/QC inspections, batch record verification, HACCP and GMP compliance, traceability, allergen control, CAPA, SOP development, and audit readiness
Team Collaboration: Works closely with kitchen, production, warehouse, logistics, and operations teams while training and guiding teams on food safety procedures
Application Note: Apply through LinkedIn and complete Delicut’s short external application form — only applicants who complete the form will be considered
Why Delicut Dubai — A Quality Career in the UAE’s Fast-Growing Fresh Food Sector
Quality-First Culture: Quality and food safety are central to Delicut’s identity — as Senior Quality Officer, your work is not a back-office function but a core pillar of the business
Specialist Environment: Chilled and fresh ready-meal production is one of the most technically demanding food categories — building valuable, in-demand QA expertise for the UAE market
Real Impact: Your inspections, CAPA work, and SOP improvements directly shape the quality of meals delivered to customers every day
Seniority & Ownership: A senior role with room to develop procedures, improve CCPs, and influence quality standards across kitchen and operations teams
Position Overview
The Senior Quality Officer at Delicut Dubai will conduct QA/QC inspections of incoming materials, production processes, and finished products; verify batch records and product release requirements; ensure compliance with HACCP, GMP, food safety, and sanitation standards; monitor traceability, allergen controls, and quality specifications; investigate nonconformities and drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA); develop and improve SOPs and critical control points (CCPs); maintain audit-ready documentation; analyze quality trends; and train kitchen and quality teams — all while coordinating with production, warehouse, and logistics to keep quality consistent from the kitchen to the customer’s door.
Why This Senior Quality Officer Role at Delicut Stands Out: You hold senior ownership of quality in a fast-paced, fresh ready-meal production environment where food safety is a daily, visible priority — not just a compliance exercise, the scope covering inspections, batch record review, traceability, allergen control, CAPA, SOP and CCP development, and audit support builds one of the most complete QA/QC skill sets available in the UAE food manufacturing market, experience with chilled and fresh food production — where shelf life is short and control must be tight — is a genuinely valuable and in-demand specialization across Dubai’s food and meal-delivery sector, the opportunity to train and guide kitchen and quality teams develops the leadership and communication skills that move QA professionals into quality management roles, and working inside a company whose entire brand promise depends on quality and food safety means your expertise is respected and your recommendations carry real weight.
Key Responsibilities
QA/QC Inspections & Product Release
- Conduct QA/QC inspections of incoming materials, production processes, and finished products — confirming that every stage of ready-meal production meets defined quality specifications
- Verify batch records, quality documentation, and product release requirements — ensuring nothing leaves production without complete, accurate, and compliant records
- Monitor product traceability, allergen controls, and quality specifications — protecting customers and ensuring any issue can be traced quickly and accurately
- Coordinate with production, warehouse, logistics, and other teams to maintain consistent quality standards from the kitchen through to final delivery
Food Safety, HACCP & GMP Compliance
- Ensure full compliance with HACCP, GMP, food safety, and sanitation standards across all ready-meal production and handling areas
- Develop and improve quality procedures, SOPs, and critical control points (CCPs) — keeping documented controls practical, current, and effective on the production floor
- Maintain audit-ready documentation at all times and support internal and regulatory audits with accurate records and clear evidence of compliance
- Reinforce a strong food safety and sanitation culture across kitchen and production teams through daily presence, coaching, and practical guidance
Nonconformities, CAPA & Continuous Improvement
- Investigate nonconformities thoroughly — identifying root causes and supporting corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) that stop issues from recurring
- Analyze quality trends, identify recurring issues, and recommend practical improvements that raise product consistency and reduce quality risk
- Track CAPA completion and verify effectiveness — ensuring actions are implemented, documented, and sustained rather than closed on paper only
- Work with operations leadership to translate quality data into clear priorities and measurable improvements across the production process
Training, Guidance & Cross-Team Coordination
- Train and guide kitchen and quality teams on food safety procedures — building knowledge, accountability, and consistent daily practice
- Work closely with kitchen and operations teams in a fast-paced production environment, balancing speed with uncompromising quality standards
- Communicate quality findings clearly to production, warehouse, and logistics colleagues — keeping every team aligned on standards and corrective priorities
- Contribute to a collaborative, quality-first workplace where food safety is understood and owned by everyone involved in producing and delivering each meal
