Job description:

About the Opportunity:

We are a growing food manufacturing commissary based in Meycauayan, Bulacan — producing artisan breads, pastries, and frozen laminated doughs including croissants and puff pastry for business clients. We are close to our HACCP certification and we need someone who will own it to the finish line — not just maintain a system, but build one that lasts.

About the Company:

We operate as a manufacturing commissary, producing and supplying frozen dough products and baked goods directly to cafes, restaurants, hotels, and food businesses across the region. Our clients depend on the consistency and safety of every product we make — which is why quality is not a support function here. It is at the center of everything we do.

What you will own — four pillars:

1. HACCP certification

• Lead the completion and implementation of our HACCP plan through to full third-party certification
• Prepare the facility and all documentation for the certification audit
• Own all CCP monitoring, critical limits, and corrective action procedures

2. FDA Philippines regulatory affairs key responsibility

• Lead and process Certificate of Product Registration (CPR) for company products under FDA Philippines
• Prepare complete technical dossiers per product — formulation, labeling compliance, lab test results
• Coordinate with FDA-accredited laboratories for required microbial and physicochemical testing
• Manage FDA queries, deficiency notices, and follow-through until CPR is released
• Ensure all product labels comply with RA 10611 (Food Safety Act) and FDA labeling standards
• Maintain LTO (License to Operate) compliance and renewal requirements

3. QA operations & floor management

• Develop, enforce, and document GMP, SSOP, and food safety protocols on the production floor
• Monitor CCPs specific to frozen and chilled laminated dough production
• Conduct internal audits and manage corrective and preventive actions
• Maintain all QA records and documentation in audit-ready condition

4. Team & supplier management

• Manage and mentor 1–2 QA staff; build a proactive quality culture across the production team
• Train production staff on food safety, GMP, and hygiene practices
• Oversee incoming raw material inspection and supplier quality qualification

What we are looking for:

You are a QA professional with real manufacturing or manufacturing commissary experience — and you have personally navigated FDA Philippines regulatory requirements, not just heard about them. You are ready to own both the floor and the paperwork.

• BS Food Technology, Food Engineering, Nutrition, Chemistry, or a related field
• 4–6 years in food manufacturing or manufacturing commissary QA, with at least 2 years in a supervisory or lead capacity
• Hands-on involvement in HACCP plan development and documentation — not just awareness training
• Current HACCP certification from a recognized body (SGS, Bureau Veritas, TÜV, or TESDA-accredited equivalent)
• Direct experience processing FDA Philippines CPR and/or LTO — has managed the full application process, not just supported it
• Familiarity with RA 10611, FDA labeling requirements, and FDA-accredited laboratory coordination
• Strong working knowledge of GMP and sanitation standards in a live production setting
• Background in bakery, pastry, frozen dough, or comparable food manufacturing strongly preferred

Nice to have:

• Experience with laminated or frozen doughs and cold chain / temperature-sensitive processes
• Exposure to nutritional fact panel preparation or coordination with a licensed nutritionist-dietitian
• Has coordinated with third-party auditors or certifying bodies
• Familiarity with ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000 (not required but a strong plus)

Benefits:

• Employee discount
• Free parking
• On-site parking
• Opportunities for promotion
• Promotion to permanent employee
