Position Overview
Our client is seeking a QA Analyst I to join their close-knit Quality team supporting a commercial food manufacturing facility. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or early-career Quality professional looking to gain hands-on experience in food manufacturing while working alongside an experienced QA team.
Responsibilities
  • Perform routine physical and chemical testing on raw materials, in-process products, and finished goods.
  • Collect product samples and conduct quality inspections throughout production.
  • Monitor critical control points (CCPs), including pH, water activity, and metal detection.
  • Perform raw ingredient inspections, in-process quality checks, finished product testing, weight verification, and packaging inspections.
  • Support GMP, HACCP, food safety, sanitation, and environmental monitoring programs.
  • Complete batch documentation and maintain accurate quality records.
  • Assist with customer complaint investigations, product evaluations, and special quality projects.
  • Communicate quality concerns to production and assist with troubleshooting manufacturing issues.
  • Collect and maintain retain samples according to established procedures.
  • Calibrate laboratory equipment and maintain a clean, organized laboratory.
  • Ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs), OSHA, HACCP, and company food safety programs.
  • Participate in internal audits and support regulatory inspections as needed.
  • Work closely with Production and Quality teams to drive continuous improvement initiatives.

Facility & Team
  • Small, collaborative QA team consisting of the QA Manager and three additional QA Analysts.
  • Opportunity to work in a smaller facility where team members gain exposure to a broad range of quality responsibilities beyond routine laboratory testing.
  • Fast-paced but supportive environment with opportunities to assist with special projects and process improvements.
  • Very little weekend work (occasional Saturdays only when business needs require).
  • One onsite interview with a quick hiring process.
  • Position available due to an upcoming team vacancy.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Food Science, Microbiology, Biology, Chemistry, or another related scientific discipline preferred.
  • Recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
  • Previous food manufacturing, laboratory, QA, QC, or internship experience is a plus.
  • Basic understanding of food safety principles, GMPs, HACCP, and laboratory practices.
  • Strong attention to detail and documentation skills.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
  • Comfortable working in both laboratory and production environments.

Work Environment
This position supports an FDA-regulated commercial food manufacturing facility. Employees work in both laboratory and manufacturing environments and should be comfortable spending time on the production floor.
The manufacturing environment includes:
  • Industrial mixers and processing equipment
  • Production and packaging lines
  • Metal detection systems
  • Freezers and refrigerated areas
  • Food manufacturing equipment and ingredient handling

Candidates should be comfortable working around varying temperatures, noise, moving equipment, and food manufacturing operations while following all PPE, GMP, and food safety requirements.
Why Join?
  • Great opportunity for new graduates looking to launch a career in Quality Assurance.
  • Gain experience in a regulated food manufacturing environment with exposure to GMPs, HACCP, food safety systems, quality documentation, customer complaints, and production support.
  • Collaborative, close-knit team with opportunities to learn from experienced Quality professionals.
  • Stable Monday-Friday first-shift schedule with minimal weekend work.
  • Opportunity to build valuable experience with a well-known national food manufacturer.
