Throughout this role you will be required to undertake hygiene duties, such as cleaning all spillages and work areas as required, mitigating risks to health and safety, and preventing a negative impact on quality standards. You will manage aspects of quality control by proactively seeking solutions where abnormalities occur, responding to any incidents or environmental concerns and promptly notifying the Mill Management team of any concerns which are considered to merit immediate attention. You will continually assist in maintaining audit standards and ensure corrective processes are in place to address non-conformances.
