  • ForceBrands
  • Vernon, CA

Job Description

** THIS IS NOT A ROLE WITH FORCEBRANDS **

*THIS ROLE IS 5X A WEEK ONSITE IN VERNON*

*MUST HAVE FOOD/BEVERAGE FSQA EXPERIENCE*

Key Responsibilities

Build the Quality System

● Convert a primarily paper-based quality program into a repeatable, audit-ready operating system, including document control, internal audit cadence, training records, CAPA tracking, and traceability/mock recall processes, beginning with practical tools and scaling as the business grows.

Food Safety & GFSI / Audit Ownership

● Own and maintain the site Food Safety & Quality Management System (HACCP, GMPs, SOPs, prerequisite programs), ensuring audit readiness year-round.

● Lead third-party and customer audits/inspections (e.g., IFS/SQF-type programs), including internal audits, mock recalls, corrective actions, and documentation control.

● Serve as primary point of contact during regulatory inspections (e.g., CA Dept. of Public Health) and drive timely follow-up actions.

Quality Assurance + Quality Control (Plant Floor)

● Establish/standardize in-process checks and finished goods release criteria; ensure consistency across mixing, holding, and bottling/pack-out operations.

● Investigate deviations, nonconformances, and customer/consumer complaints; lead root cause analysis and CAPA in partnership with Operations.

● Coordinate product testing/specification adherence and maintain required QA records.

Regulatory / Compliance (CA-first mindset)

● Maintain compliance across applicable food safety regulations and facility requirements; manage required submissions, records, and postings.

● Partner with outside services as needed (e.g., certain CA compliance administration) but own the “what” and “why” internally.

Training + Food Safety Culture

● Deliver and/or coordinate routine training for plant employees (food safety, GMPs, documentation discipline, incident response).

● Ensure training is effective for a primarily Spanish-speaking workforce; ability to communicate clearly in Spanish is required for floor execution.

Documentation Modernization (Practical, not precious)

● Transition critical quality documentation from paper-based workflows to simple, scalable tools (starting with structured digital logs and version-controlled documents), without disrupting production.

Qualifications

● 5+ years in Quality / Food Safety in food manufacturing, ideally in an internally manufactured environment.

● Hands-on experience leading GFSI-style audits and programs (SQF/BRC/IFS or similar) and maintaining HACCP/Preventive Controls systems.

● Strong CAPA / root cause skills and comfort working directly on the floor, not from a desk.

● Bilingual (English/Spanish): strong working proficiency required.

● Comfortable as a department of one: organized, steady, low-ego, and practical.

Working Conditions

● On-site role in a manufacturing and warehouse environment; may require early/extended hours aligned to production needs.

● Regular time on the production floor.
