Quality & Food Safety Technical Coordinator

OneStaff is looking for a Quality & Food Safety Technical Coordinator to join a Christchurch food manufacturing business on a 12-month maternity leave cover.

This is a great opportunity for a recent graduate looking to start their career in food quality, or someone with at least 12 months' experience in a similar QA, food safety or technical role.

You'll be part of a small team, supporting the day-to-day quality and food safety requirements across the business. This isn't a role where you'll be sitting behind a desk all day. You'll need to be comfortable getting out onto the factory floor, talking with employees and working closely with different areas of the business.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Maintain product specifications, nutritional, recipe and packaging information
• Update food safety and quality systems and documentation
• Support label compliance with food regulations
• Assist with internal audits, SOPs and non-conformance reporting
• Liaise with production teams to maintain quality and food safety standards
• Support staff training and assist with customer complaints
• Work alongside R&D, ingredient and packaging suppliers
• Maintain accurate records in line with FSANZ, HACCP and GMP requirements

Ideally, you'll bring:

• A qualification in Food Science, Food Technology or a related field, or at least 12 months' experience in a similar role
• An understanding of food safety, HACCP, GMP and quality systems
• Strong communication skills and confidence liaising with employees at all levels
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to spend time on the factory floor
• Good problem-solving and analytical skills
• Confidence working with documentation, data and Microsoft Office
• The ability to build good working relationships across the business

What's on offer

• Monday-Friday shifts, 7:00am-3:30pm
• 12-month maternity leave cover
• Supportive, close-knit team
• Great opportunity for a recent graduate to gain hands-on industry experience
• Exposure to a busy food manufacturing and production environment
