QUALITY SHIFT SUPERVISOR | $28–$36 PER HOUR | PISCATAWAY, NJ
Multiple shift opportunities are available, and we welcome candidates interested in working any assigned production shift.
ROLE OVERVIEW
Reporting to the Quality Manager, the Quality Shift Supervisor leads quality and food-safety activities on an assigned shift. This hands-on role directs Quality Technicians, maintains a strong presence on the production floor, ensures required checks and records are completed, and responds quickly when product quality or food-safety risks arise.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
• Lead the daily work of Quality Technicians, including assignments, coverage, priorities, coaching, and follow-up.
• Ensure start-up, in-process, changeover, and finished-product checks are completed at required frequencies and against approved specifications.
• Review quality records for accuracy, completeness, and timely escalation of concerns.
• Oversee product testing such as weight, moisture, sodium, nitrogen, bulk density, appearance, flavor, packaging integrity, and coding.
• Verify ingredients, formulations, packaging materials, labels, and product codes meet requirements.
• Review out-of-specification results and nonconforming product or materials; initiate authorized holds and escalate concerns promptly.
• Oversee GMP, hygiene, allergen-control, foreign-material, pre-operational, sanitation-verification, metal-detector, traceability, and environmental-monitoring activities.
• Support investigations, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, audits, mock recalls, product trials, and customer or regulatory visits.
• Partner with Production, Sanitation, Maintenance, Warehouse, and Quality leadership to resolve shift-level issues while protecting product integrity.
• Provide effective shift handoffs and ensure unresolved concerns are communicated to the appropriate leaders.
QUALIFICATIONS
• High school diploma or GED required; associate degree or technical coursework in food science, biology, chemistry, or a related field preferred.
• Prior quality experience in food manufacturing is required; Quality Technician or comparable hands-on quality experience is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and hold others accountable through formal supervision or lead responsibilities.
• Working knowledge of GMPs, HACCP, preventive controls, allergen controls, environmental monitoring, and food-manufacturing quality practices.
• Ability to troubleshoot product, process, testing, and documentation concerns and determine when escalation is required.
• Experience using measurement and testing equipment and interpreting product specifications, sampling plans, and written procedures.
• Strong judgment, problem-solving, communication, organization, and recordkeeping skills.
• Comfort using computers and electronic quality or production systems.
• Ability to work an assigned shift, including nights, weekends, overtime, or schedule changes based on production needs.
• Bilingual English/Spanish is preferred.
