Job Description
Quality Control Manager – Food Manufacturing
Lebanon, NJ
110 - 120K
Overview
A growing dairy manufacturing operation is seeking a Quality Control Manager to take ownership of food safety and quality systems from the ground up.
This is not a maintenance role — we are looking for someone who has built or significantly structured a QC/QA function , not just managed an existing one.
You will lead quality, food safety, and compliance across the plant while establishing the systems, procedures, and standards needed for long-term success.
What You'll Own
- Build and structure the Quality Control and Food Safety function
- Develop and implement SOPs, testing procedures, and documentation systems
- Oversee sanitation programs and plant quality operations
- Lead and maintain SQF certification (acting as SQF Practitioner)
- Manage HACCP plans and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements
- Oversee lab operations, environmental monitoring, and pathogen programs
- Establish KPIs, reporting, and quality metrics
- Prepare the plant for audits, inspections, and certifications
- Train and lead QC staff
What You Bring
- Food manufacturing experience (required)
- Experience building or restructuring a QC / QA department
- Strong knowledge of:
- HACCP
- Sanitation
- GMP
- FSMA
- SQF Practitioner experience (or ability to step into the role immediately)
- Hands-on experience in plant environments
- Ability to operate both strategically and in the weeds
What Makes This Role Different
- You are not inheriting a polished system — you are building one
- High ownership and visibility within the operation
- Direct impact on plant readiness, compliance, and product quality
- Opportunity to establish long-term structure and standards
