Job Description

gpac has partnered a dairy facility that has asked us to confidentially search for a new Quality Assurance Manager for their growing manufacturing location in Wisconsin.

Are you ready to take QA leadership to the next level? Join a well-established dairy company that’s been producing high-quality products for 40+ years—and is still growing! This is not a desk job. You’ll lead from the floor, mentor your team, and ensure every product leaving the facility meets the highest standards.

Why this role is different:

  • Hands-On Leadership: Manage QA operations on the floor, not from behind a desk.

  • Mentor & Grow Your Team: Train QC Technicians and build a culture of quality excellence.

  • Impact & Visibility: Work directly with plant leadership and participate in audits that matter.

  • Career Growth: Competitive salary, excellent benefits, and real opportunity to advance.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Implement and oversee QA programs—HACCP, GMP, SSOP, USDA, FDA.

  • Lead audits, pre-shipment reviews, validations, and corrective actions.

  • Identify issues, propose solutions, and keep quality standards top-notch.

  • Collaborate with Plant and Sanitation Managers to maintain clean, safe, and efficient operations.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 3+ years of QA supervisory experience in food manufacturing.

  • Strong knowledge of HACCP, GMP, SSOP, and audits.

  • Experience mentoring teams and working on the production floor.

  • PCQI certification or food science background preferred.

  • Familiarity with organic, Kosher, or Halal products is a plus.

What’s in It for You:

  • Salary: $80k–$105k + great benefits

  • Be a key leader in a company that’s growing and investing in quality

  • Lead a team, make real impact, and be recognized for your expertise

Ready to Lead Quality from the Floor? If you’re a hands-on QA professional looking for a role where your leadership truly matters, we want to hear from you.

Apply today and take the next step in your career! Send you confidential resume to tanya.allison@goggpac.com for immediate consideration.
