Approve batches that meet quality standards for further processing and escalate any non-conformances as needed.
Essential Skills
Familiarity with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) in a regulated food or similar manufacturing environment.
Ability to perform basic quality checks and follow established QA procedures.
Comfort working on a fixed third-shift schedule (approximately 10:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., Sunday through Thursday)
