Job Description

FSQA Technician

Universal Pure is North America’s largest HPP provider, helping food and beverage brands deliver safer, fresher, longer-lasting products. As FSQA Technician at our Lincoln facility, you protect consumers and customer brands every shift by verifying processes, catching issues early, and keeping our cold-chain operations audit-ready.

Performance Objectives

• Complete pre-operational and in-process inspections plus microbiological sampling on every production run so 100% of lots meet USDA, FDA, and customer specifications.
• Document deviations and hold product within 30 minutes; partner with production to close root-cause actions before the next shift.
• Verify HPP cycle parameters, hold times, and sanitation records for each vessel load, preventing any unreleased product from shipping.
• Train and coach associates on GMPs and allergen controls, driving zero critical non-conformances on internal and third-party audits.
• Maintain accurate, legible records and communicate status to USDA, QA, and operations so every customer order leaves on time and in spec.

Environment & Resources

You report to the FSQA Supervisor and work alongside production leads, USDA inspectors, and a growing QA team across eight U.S. sites. You’ll use standard lab and handheld tools in a 35&degree;F wet production environment. Allergen-containing products are processed on site.

Essential Qualifications

• High-school diploma/GED and 1+ year food-manufacturing QA or sanitation experience (HPP or USDA-inspected preferred).
• Working knowledge of GMPs, HACCP, and basic microbiology sampling.
• Ability to stand 8–12 hours, lift 35 lbs repeatedly, and work in 35&degree;F wet conditions.
• Clear written and verbal English communication plus proven attendance and attention to detail.
• Flexibility to cover multiple shifts and support changeovers with production and USDA.

Role Selling Points

• Direct impact on consumer safety for leading juice, deli, pet-food, and clean-label brands.
• Join the industry leader in HPP while we expand cold-chain services nationwide.
• Hands-on technical work with real-time influence on daily production decisions.
• Stable, growing company with clear paths into Supervisor and multi-site QA roles.
