You'll lead and develop the Overnight Cleaning Supervisor(s) and their teams, owning rotas, training, performance, and succession planning, while being the site's senior authority on environmental swabbing, microbiological verification, and sign-off of cleaning-down and pre-op checks before production starts each day.

You'll report into Operations and act as the primary point of contact for QA/Technical on BRCGS audits and CAPA closure, owning hygiene KPIs, incident investigation, and root-cause follow-up across the site.
