Quality & Safety Coordinator (Food/Logistics)

Would you like to commit yourself to a healthy and safe working environment within our Meppel location? We are looking for an enthusiastic, communicative, and proactive Quality & Safety Coordinator (Food/Logistics) for 32-36 hours per week, available immediately.

Why Quality & Safety Coordinator (Food/Logistics) at Bidfood?

• Because Bidfood has a number of attractive employment conditions to offer. Read more about them below!

As Quality & Safety Coordinator (Food/Logistics), you will receive a challenging and dynamic role within the logistically complex environment of Bidfood. Within the Meppel location, you are the point of contact for Quality, Health & Safety, and Environment (HSE). You maintain and improve policies at operational and tactical levels. You translate existing policies and procedures into practice and ensure they are embraced and applied on the work floor.

In this role, you stand in the middle of the tension between supervision, practice, and policy. You see risks coming before they occur, draw up the HSE annual plan, and monitor progress. Whether it concerns a customer audit, a cross-departmental improvement project, or your role as the central reporting point for (near-)accidents and unsafe situations: you maintain the overview. You have a curious mindset, continuously enrich your knowledge, and advise employees and management both proactively and reactively.

You work closely with the team leaders and other local HSE Coordinators. Additionally, you liaise with the location management, the central HSE Manager, and external certification bodies to share knowledge and ensure a uniform way of working. You are the filter that determines what is relevant for Bidfood and ensures that improvement proposals are actually realized.

• Someone with an HBO (higher professional education) work and/or thinking level in a relevant field (e.g., Integrated Safety, Food Technology, or Environmental Science), preferably supplemented with relevant HSE or audit certifications.

• At home in current laws and regulations regarding food safety, health & safety, and the environment, or prepared and able to bring this up to date quickly.

• Someone who keeps a cool head during incidents. You tackle the cause, prepare the correct reports, and are a professional interlocutor for regulators.

• Tactically strong and organizationally sensitive: you recognize risks, anticipate developments, and take control.

• Communicatively persuasive and connecting: you know how to get people on board with change and create support from the work floor to management.

• Initially, you are for our Bidfood location in Meppel, though you are also prepared to support nearby Bidfood locations if necessary.
