Quality Control Analyst

Responsibilities:

• Analysis: Perform daily chemical and physical tests on crude and refined oil samples, specifically monitoring Free Fatty Acids (FFA), Peroxide Value (PV), iodine value moisture, and impurities.
• In-Process Monitoring: Regularly walk the factory floor to collect oil samples from the refining to ensure intermediate processing specs are met.
• Packaging & Date Checks: Conduct routine inspections on the semi-automatic bottling line to verify fill weights, secure sealing, correct batch coding, and accurate production/expiry dates.
• Regulatory Compliance: Maintain rigorous documentation, batch records, and lab logs to guarantee the plant is always audit-ready for NAFDAC, SON, and local health inspectors.
• Hygiene & GMP Enforcement: Enforce Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and workplace hygiene across the production floor, ensuring staff follow safe, food-grade handling protocols.
• Rejection Management: Identify out-of-specification batches immediately, and coordinate with the Production Manager to isolate and correct the issue.

Requirements:

• A minimum of an HND in chemistry, biochemistry, food science & technology, or a closely related scientific discipline.
• 2-5 years of practical laboratory or QC experience within a food manufacturing environment (direct experience in edible oil processing is highly preferred).
• Practical mastery of basic laboratory titration techniques, weight checks, and the calibration of common lab equipment (PH meters, moisture analyzers, refractometers).
• Strong understanding of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles, GMP, and Nigerian regulatory standards for food safety.
• Exceptional attention to detail, high integrity, and the confidence to halt production if quality standards are compromised.

Remuneration: NGN 130,000-150,000 Monthly (Negotiable Upward)
