Requirements

What we're looking for

You work accurately, recognize deviations quickly, and want to understand where a problem originates. You take initiative, can set priorities, and dare to make decisions within your responsibilities.

Because this position develops towards a leadership role, we are looking for someone who collaborates easily, can bring colleagues along, and can address them in a pleasant but clear manner. You do not need to be an experienced leader yet, but the ambition and the potential to develop yourself in that direction are important.

In addition, you have:

HBO (higher professional education) working and thinking level;
a completed education in the direction of food, food technology, analytical chemistry, or similar;
experience with quality assurance and quality processes, preferably within the food industry;
a strong quality awareness and eye for detail;
good communication skills;
a proactive attitude and sense of ownership;
ambition to further develop yourself towards a leadership role;
a good command of the Dutch and English languages.

The role

In Warffum, one of Aviko Rixona's production sites is located. Here, we produce potato granules for the industrial market. Our products find their way to customers all over the world.

You work within Quality and have a lot of contact with colleagues on the production floor. The lines at our location are short. If you see a deviation or quality risk, you search for the cause and a suitable solution together with the colleagues involved.

Within this role, you combine substantive quality knowledge with a coordinating role within the daily QC activities. Therefore, this is an interesting position for someone who wants to take on more responsibility and wants to develop further within Quality.

As a QC Specialist, you ensure that raw materials, packaging materials, and finished products meet our quality and customer specifications. You are an important point of contact for daily quality issues and work closely with production, QA, and other involved departments.

You can regularly be found on the production floor. In addition to your substantive tasks, you maintain an overview of the daily QC activities, set priorities, and monitor that deviations and quality issues are properly followed up.

What you'll do

assessing research results and releasing finished products for shipment to customers;
identifying and discussing deviations and monitoring the follow-up;
checking and releasing raw materials and packaging materials for use in production;
performing incoming inspections and assessing, among other things, color, odor, taste, and texture;
investigating the causes of complaints and deviations and advising on corrective and preventive measures;
following up on complaints and blocks regarding raw materials and packaging materials;
performing internal audits and supporting external audits;
processing quality data and releases in SAP;
preparing Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) and making them available to customers in a timely manner;
maintaining contact with suppliers regarding quality and the processability of materials;
contributing to the assessment and improvement of our quality processes;
coordinating the daily QC activities and ensuring good alignment with production and QA.

Your development

This position is explicitly intended as a development role towards Quality Manager. The ambition is to allow you, depending on your experience and personal growth curve, to grow into the role of Quality Manager in Warffum within approximately two years.

You start with the substance and coordination of QC. As you get to know our processes, products, and organization better and develop yourself further, you will step-by-step receive more responsibility. In this way, you gradually grow from QC Specialist to a broader leadership responsibility within Quality.

The period of approximately two years is our ambition. Actual career progression depends on your development, results, and suitability for the role.
