• Collect and submit environmental and product samples for testing.
• Support USDA inspections, audits, and corrective action follow-ups.
• Keep QA documentation up to date and help train team members on compliance.
• Partner with operations to solve problems and drive continuous improvement.

• 1-3 years in a USDA-inspected meat or poultry facility.
• Strong understanding of HACCP, GMPs, and food safety programs.
• Great attention to detail and solid documentation skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with QA or ERP systems a plus.
• HACCP or SQF certification preferred (or willingness to earn soon).
• Bilingual English/Spanish a plus!

This is a full-time, on-site role working closely with our Plant Manager and Operations team. The right person will be hands-on, organized, and motivated to help build systems that make us better every day.
