• Lead Audits with Confidence: Plan and conduct internal audits, coordinate external ones, and turn findings into practical, value-adding improvements.
• Drive Data-Backed Decisions: Use reporting tools to identify trends, tackle root causes of issues, and unlock opportunities for process optimisation.
• Ensure Ethical Standards: Support compliance with BRC requirements and integrate FSC principles to guarantee responsible sourcing.
• Protect What Matters: Help implement data security measures that safeguard sensitive company and client information.

What You Bring

• 2–3+ years in Quality Assurance or a similar role, ideally within manufacturing, packaging, or related industries.
• Proven experience with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) for clear and compelling reporting.
• Knowledge of BRC and FSC standards is a plus — as is experience in the food or sustainable materials sector.
• A meticulous eye for detail, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a purpose-led business making a real environmental difference.
• Collaborate with a passionate, supportive team that values your ideas.
• Enjoy a role where quality is not just a requirement — it’s a shared value.
