We’re looking for the pick of the bunch…

Based at The Fresh Produce Centre at Paddock Wood in Kent, FreshPLUS takes a different approach to service provision. Specialising in fresh produce, our customers have the freedom to choose from a flexible menu of direct or indirect services; from full receipt, storage, ripening, packing and distribution of products to indirect options such as grower audits at source, customs clearance services or marketing insight reports.

So, why work for us?

We are looking for an enthusiastic Quality Assurance Inspector to join us in order to enhance our QA team, which is just one of the services that FreshPLUS has to offer.

As a Quality Assurance Inspector, you will assess and report on the quality of our products by carrying out visual, sensory and technical tests during different stages of the process. You will be responsible for ensuring that quality is absolute premium from the moment the raw product arrives at Mack, whilst it is in production and until the point of dispatch.

As a key member of the Quality Assurance team, you will be focussed on communicating any quality issues to line management and ensuring that the product meets our customer requirements and specifications.

It will be your responsibility to make an accurate decision as to whether the product is perfect enough for our customer, and if not what next steps you advise the business to take.

If you have experience of working as a Quality Assurance Inspector in the past, you are one step closer to becoming part of our unique team. If you have experience in working with fresh produce, we would love to hear from you.

Our perfect QA Inspector would have:

• Some experience of working with fresh produce in the past.

• The ability to communicate at all levels as it’s vital that everybody is kept in the loop at Mack.
• Strong organisation skills with the ability to meet deadlines as it can be pretty hectic here, especially in peak seasons!
• Experience of working with Excel and other Microsoft packages would be a bonus too!

In return we can offer you a rewarding career where every single day is different to the one before.

What else we can offer you:

• A salary of £18,000 - £21,000 per annum (dependant on experience)
• 25 days holiday per annum plus 8 bank holidays
• Pension scheme
• Company share scheme
• Childcare voucher scheme
• Subsidised staff fresh produce shop
