  • Serve as the site’s technical expert in food safety, helping to proactively identify risks and drive continuous improvement
  • Strong knowledge of USDA and FDA regulations and experience working in dual-regulated food manufacturing environments
  • Certified SQF Practitioner and PCQI, with a successful track record leading audits and maintaining certification
