Quality Assurance Associate

Hull, England

Job ID 10599

Company Description

Our client, seeking a Quality Assurance Associate in Hull, England, is a leading global supplier of food ingredients. Working for this leading organization means being part of an innovative and dynamic company that is dedicated to delivering high-quality products and exceptional customer service.

With a commitment to sustainability, they offer employees the opportunity to work for a company that is making a positive impact on the environment.

Compensation

The role offers annual compensation of £32,926.40 for a full-time, permanent, in-person position. In addition to salary, the successful candidate will have access to a well-rounded employee offering that includes practical workplace conveniences, health and well-being support, lifestyle-related benefits, employee recognition opportunities, and company-sponsored initiatives that contribute to a positive site culture.

The Opportunity

This is a Quality Assurance role for someone who likes variety in their day.

One part of the role might involve checking incoming packaging or raw materials. Another part may involve reviewing production records, verifying CCPs, preparing micro samples, checking results, or following up on a taste panel. You may also be involved in internal audits, glass and brittle material checks, supplier non-conformances, or investigations when something needs to be held, reviewed, or corrected.

It is not just about ticking boxes. The real value in the role is helping the site make good decisions before small quality concerns become bigger problems.

You will be a visible QA presence across production, packing, and warehouse areas, helping people understand what good looks like and making sure food safety, hygiene, and product standards are protected throughout the process.

Position Description

As Quality Assurance Associate, you will support day-to-day quality and technical activity across the site.

In this important position, you will support day-to-day quality and technical activity across a busy food production site. This is a site-based role working on a rotating shift pattern, which may include 6:00am to 2:00pm, 2:00pm to 10:00pm, and 10:00pm to 6:00am shifts, along with an 8:00am to 4:00pm lab shift as required.

Checking incoming packaging and raw materials against required standards
Monitoring product quality during production, packing, and warehouse activity
Carrying out verification checks and helping ensure site records are completed correctly
Reviewing production, packing, and QC paperwork for accuracy and completion
Verifying CCPs and signing records once checks are complete
Completing glass and brittle material checks and supporting internal audits
Assisting with investigations into foreign bodies, held stock, quality issues, or related concerns
Issuing internal and supplier non-conformances when needed
Working with factory colleagues to improve quality awareness and reduce risk
Helping maintain product legality, safety, hygiene, and quality standards across the site
Noting when procedures are not being followed or may need to be updated
Making sure laboratory equipment and chemicals are used properly and checks are completed
Leading the daily taste panel when required and following up on any actions
Preparing and sending micro samples
Reviewing micro results and preparing certificates of analysis
Supporting wider quality and technical tasks as required
Following health and safety, HR, and environmental procedures

Experience

This role would suit someone who has worked in food manufacturing, quality assurance, technical support, production quality, or a similar environment.

You do not need to be the loudest person in the room, but you do need to be observant, organised, and willing to speak up when something does not look right.

Useful experience includes…

Food safety and QA procedures
HACCP, CCP checks, and allergen controls
Factory paperwork, quality records, and production documentation
Internal audits or routine site checks
Product quality checks in production, packing, or warehouse settings
Micro samples, certificates of analysis, or lab-related QA tasks
Non-conformances, investigations, held stock, or supplier quality issues
Working directly with factory teams to maintain standards

Qualifications

The right person will bring a solid understanding of food safety, HACCP, allergen procedures, and quality expectations in a production environment.

You should be someone who…

Notices details and follows through properly
Can work to a high standard without needing constant supervision
Communicates clearly with production and technical colleagues
Keeps organised when there are several checks, samples, records, and follow-ups happening at once
Understands why paperwork matters in food production
Takes food safety seriously
Is willing to keep learning and developing their technical knowledge

This is a strong fit for someone who wants a practical QA role where they can be involved in the real operation, support good production habits, and help protect the quality of products customers rely on.
