12 hours ago

Milton, Ontario, Canada Chudleigh's Brand Full time $60,000 - $90,000 per year

At Chudleigh's, we believe in creating delicious, high-quality products that bring people together and celebrate the simple pleasures of life. From our signature desserts to our growing line of beverages, everything we make is inspired by the spirit of the farm and made with care.

We're expanding our operations with a new start-up beverage production facility and looking for a hands-on Quality Assurance Technician to join our team and help us build this next chapter.

About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Quality Assurance Technician to join our team at our new beverage production facility. This position plays a key role in developing and maintaining a CFIA-compliant Food Safety Program for a new start-up beverage operation.

Working closely with an external food safety consultant, you will help coordinate, implement, and document all aspects of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) Preventive Control Plan (PCP), ensuring that our programs and processes meet regulatory and brand requirements from day one.

You'll split your time between production floor and documentation activities, ensuring food safety and brand standards are followed in real time and all required records are accurate and audit ready.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone passionate about food safety, quality systems, and continuous improvement who wants to be part of building a new operation from start to finish.

Key Responsibilities

Program Development and Implementation

  • Support the development and implementation of the CFIA-compliant Food Safety Program, including prerequisite programs (PRPs) and process controls.
  • Work alongside the consultant to prepare documentation, records, and validation materials aligned with SFCR Preventive Control Plan (PCP) requirements.
  • Assist in mapping process flows, product descriptions, and plant layout for regulatory documentation.
  • Participate in hazard analysis and risk assessments (biological, chemical, and physical).

Quality and Compliance Monitoring

  • Conduct in-process and finished product checks (e.g., pH, Brix, sensory, etc.)
  • Monitor sanitation, allergen control, equipment maintenance, and environmental conditions.
  • Verify adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and hygiene procedures.
  • Support traceability, recall mock exercises, and documentation control.
  • Assist in establishing and maintaining supplier approval, ingredient traceability, and recordkeeping systems.

Team Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

  • Support coordination and delivery of GMP and food safety training for production employees.
  • Act as a key liaison between the internal production team and the external consultant to ensure consistent communication.
  • Participate in internal audits and readiness checks for CFIA or third-party inspections.
  • Track non-conformances, deviations and CAPAs to ensure timely resolution and effectiveness
  • Identify and recommend improvements to enhance quality and safety performance.

What We're Looking For

  • College diploma in Food or Beverage Technology, Quality Assurance or a related field, or 2+ years of hands-on QA experience in a food or beverage manufacturing environment
  • Knowledge of CFIA, HACCP, or PCP systems (training or experience is an asset).

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Benefits:

  • Company events
  • Dental care
  • Discounted or free food
  • On-site parking
  • Paid time off
  • Vision care

Work Location: In person
