• Inspect finished goods using AQL sampling and sign off batches for dispatch.
• Keep retained samples, QC check sheets and test logs accurate and audit-ready, and prepare Certificates of Conformance.
• Verify test equipment daily, submit an end-of-shift QC report, and keep the laboratory clean and safe.

• Experience: At least 2 years of quality control or laboratory testing experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Testing: Hands-on experience with board and paper tests such as Mullen burst, ECT, BCT, flat crush, caliper, moisture and Cobb.

• Knowledge of ISO 9001:2015 and FSSC, ISO or SANS test methods; internal auditor training.

THE RIGHT PERSON WILL BE:

Detail-driven, with a keen eye for subtle defects; confident enough to stop a run when quality is at risk; a clear, respectful communicator with operators and supervisors; and reliable, methodical and disciplined on every shift.
