Quality Coordinator

Quality Coordinator

Lincolnshire / Cambridgeshire (with UK & occasional overseas travel)

We are working with a grower‑owned fresh produce business where quality, transparency and long‑term partnerships are at the core of everything they do. They are now looking for a Quality Coordinator to support the technical and quality function across imported fresh produce supplied into UK retailers.

THE ROLE - WHAT YOU'LL REALLY BE DOING

This is a varied, hands‑on role where you'll be right at the centre of product quality and compliance.

You'll support the technical team in ensuring all imported produce meets food safety, legal and customer requirements - working closely with suppliers, packhouses and retailers to keep everything running smoothly.

If you enjoy being detail‑focused, organised and close to the product - while still having exposure to suppliers and audits - this role will suit you perfectly.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Support food safety and quality compliance for imported fresh produce
• Maintain accurate documentation for retailer and legal requirements
• Assist with supplier approval, due diligence and compliance records
• Help ensure full traceability across suppliers and third‑party packhouses
• Communicate updates to specifications, legislation and customer requirements
• Support internal and supplier audits, including follow‑ups
• Assist with packaging approvals and customer requirements
• Carry out quality checks and support site inspections where required
• Liaise with suppliers, service providers and internal teams to resolve quality issues

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You might be:

• A Quality Coordinator, QA or junior Technical professional within food or fresh produce
• Familiar with UK retailer standards (or keen to develop in this area)
• Organised, detail‑driven and confident managing documentation
• Comfortable communicating with suppliers and internal teams
• Familiar with systems such as Sedex (or willing to learn)
• Happy with occasional travel in the UK and overseas

If you're looking for a role where you can build your technical career, gain exposure to suppliers and retailers, and be part of a business that values quality and relationships - this is well worth exploring.

The role offers a mix of office‑based work, remote working and supplier visits.
