•$150,000 About Us In business for just 5 years, we have rapidly emerged as a rising leader in

USDA/FDA

food manufacturing, backed by a veteran ownership group that has built two $100M F&D companies. Driven by surging demand and major partnerships with world-class customers like Costco, our operations are scaling at an extraordinary pace-headcount has grown over 60% in the last six months alone, with revenue projected to double over the next year. This unprecedented growth has created a high-visibility leadership opportunity to step in, build out robust quality systems from scratch, and lead our plant through its milestone SQF certification early next year. Position Overview We are seeking a hands-on, collaborative Director of Quality Control (open to a strong Senior Manager) to own, build, and implement our comprehensive food safety and quality systems during this pivotal growth phase. This role sits above our existing QC structure-overseeing a QC Supervisor, QC Lead, and 3 QC Technicians. You will manage HACCP programs across both USDA (poultry, beef, pork) and FDA (produce, shrimp, sauces) product lines. The ideal candidate is not just an auditor or a critic, but a teacher and mentor who fosters a collaborative culture, builds systems from the ground up, and guides our growing team through critical upcoming SQF certifications and major retail audits.

Key Responsibilities SQF Implementation & Food Safety Leadership:

Spearhead the journey to achieve full SQF certification early next year, owning and implementing all food safety programs from scratch for a young, rapidly expanding manufacturing facility.

HACCP & Major Customer Compliance:

Oversee HACCP programs across multi-line USDA (poultry, meats) and FDA (produce, shrimp, sauces) manufacturing processes, ensuring full compliance to meet the rigorous standards of major accounts like Costco.

Team Building & Mentorship:

Build, train, and develop the QC department-providing direct leadership to the QC Supervisor, QC Lead, and QC Technicians. Cultivate a collaborative, coaching-oriented floor culture.

Operational Execution:

Maintain an active on-site presence, anchoring the core 6:00 AM

•4:00 PM production window with on-call flexibility to support a production schedule running through midnight.

Qualifications & Requirements Core Background:

5+ years in food manufacturing QA/QC leadership; open to a strong Senior Manager ready to step up.

Industry Experience:

Deep USDA processing experience (beef, pork, poultry) + seafood HACCP experience (big plus!)

Technical Expertise:
