You're the top FSQA decision-maker on your shift
Gain experience in a high-capacity, 1.3M sq. ft. protein facility
Every day brings new projects, challenges, and growth moments
Room to grow-this role is a stepping stone to FSQA Manager
What We're Looking For
Proven FSQA leadership, meat/poultry/seafood industry required
Proven ability to lead teams and manage performance
Strong background in USDA, HACCP, audits, and corrective actions
Comfortable with ambiguity, fast pace, and solving complex floor issues
Skills & Mindset
High initiative: confident in making decisions without constant direction
Project-focused: can organize chaos into action plans and results
