Quality Control Technician

QC Technician

Position Summary

The Quality Control (QC) Technician is a leadership role within the production environment responsible for proactively ensuring that all products, processes, and personnel consistently meet Treasure Mills’ quality and food safety standards.

This position requires a strong floor presence and the authority to enforce compliance with SQF, HACCP, GMP, allergen control, and company policies. The QC Technician’s role is preventative — ensuring standards are followed in real time rather than identifying issues after production is complete.

• Act as a food safety authority within the facility, reinforcing regulatory requirements and company policies

• Escalate repeated or serious non-conformances to management

Quality Monitoring & Verification

• Verify allergen controls and sanitation effectiveness

• Conduct environmental and product sampling as required

• Perform other quality and food safety-related duties as assigned by Management to support operational needs
