Duties & Responsibilities

What's the role about?

The Q&T Coordinator team will provide support and resource for the Quality & Technical department. 

The successful candidates will form part of a recently created team to drive efficiency and consistency in all aspects of due diligence and brand reputation. 

The role will be fast paced and performance will be measured on your attention to detail, quality of work completed and ability to meet deadlines. A degree of flexibility will be required in the event of urgent work requests, for example in reaction to a product incident.

Excellent attention to detail and organisiation will be crucial to provide a professional service to the team. Due to the nature of the role an ability to work to deadlines and manage your own workload will be fundamental to your success.

This position would be a fantastic opportunity for a recently qualified Food Scientist (or equivalent discipline) to kick start their career in the Quality & Technical department with Waitrose & Partners.
