Passionate about food quality? Direct Table Foods is looking for a detail-driven Quality Controller to ensure our premium sausages meet the highest safety, taste, and consistency standards before hitting supermarket shelves.

- Equipment Verification: Calibrate and check critical testing equipment, including temperature probes, scales, and salt analysis tools.
- Non-Conformance & Root Cause: Investigate customer complaints, internal non-conformances, and supplier issues to prevent repeat errors.
- Culture & Compliance: Champion site health & safety, promote a strong food-safety culture, and train team members on quality standards.
