Full job description

Driven by integrity and united by the people-and-pet bond, we find strong purpose in the work we do and an even greater joy in those we get to work alongside. Together, we harness the expertise of our long-standing tradition of excellence to embrace possibility and continuously push to do what's never been done before in pet care. Discover your purpose and fuel your passions when you bring your love of pets to a team that prides itself on the power of togetherness—We are Proudly Connected. Purely Driven.

More than small-town charm and one-of-a-kind views of the Mississippi, Clinton has been our cherished "home" since 1969. As a dedicated team, we take pride in being a cornerstone of the community for over 50 years, producing a wide variety of industry-leading products including Pro Plan®, Nestlé Purina ONE Beyond®, Nestlé Purina Veterinary Diets®, and Beggin®. We also take pride in doing our part to care for the environment, like conserving water, investing in renewable electricity and maintaining zero waste for disposal. Together, we have become an integral part of the Clinton community. This small Midwestern town is perfect for families, offering year-round activities such as riverfront amenities, biking paths, unique restaurants, and historic districts.

As a Senior Quality Technician, you’ll lead the development, verification, and continuous improvement of our HACCP and Food Defense programs. You’ll partner with teams across the factory to keep food safety at the center of everything we do, and help associates build the knowledge they need to succeed.

Conduct risk analyses for products, ingredients, and processes; review process flowcharts; and keep the HACCP plan and records accurate and current.

Monitor the HACCP program daily, conduct internal audits, support third-party audits, calibrate monitoring devices, and manage the HACCP Verification Calendar.

Follow up on deviations; monitor and resolve food safety holds; and lead the annual HACCP Plan reassessment.

Develop, review, and update the factory’s Food Defense Plan and coordinate risk mitigation with the Food Safety Team and factory leadership.

Develop and deliver training on HACCP, prerequisite programs, Food Defense, FDA Food Defense 101, and FIRST, including CCP operator training and new hire onboarding.

Participate in Nestlé Continuous Excellence initiatives while upholding Safety and Quality as core values.

Requirements:

  • High School Diploma or GED equivalent

  • 3+ years of quality assurance experience in manufacturing, production, warehouse, military or related environment

Salary: $49,953.60 to $71,215.00 per year
