About The Position

Reporting to the Quality Assurance Supervisor, we are looking for a Senior Quality Assurance Technician to join our state-of-the-art food production plant in Lebanon, Indiana. You will play a critical role in performing and supporting daily QA activities across both the production floor and the laboratory. You will execute sampling programs, conduct verification checks, support investigations, maintain quality documentation, and provide guidance to QA Technicians to ensure compliance with internal standards and regulatory requirements. This is an on-site role.

Requirements

• The experience. You have experience in quality assurance, quality control, or a related function within a regulated manufacturing environment. You understand how manufacturing quality programs operate and have hands-on experience conducting sampling, inspections, audits, and verifications.
• The technical skills. You have strong knowledge of GMP, HACCP, and quality management systems. You are proficient in Microsoft Office and quality data systems. You bring analytical thinking, accuracy, and a strong attention to detail.
• The adaptability and communication. You are able to work across departments, building relationships with Production, Maintenance, Warehouse, and other teams. You communicate clearly, adapt to shifting priorities, and maintain composure in a fast-paced environment.
• The approach. You bring a continuous improvement mindset, strong organization, and a proactive sense of ownership. You are not new to quality—you have the confidence and experience to step into a senior technical role and support both daily operations and long-term quality initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Perform sampling and testing. You will complete internal and external sampling activities, fulfill customer sample requests, collect retained samples, and maintain retention programs. You will conduct routine sampling for environmental monitoring programs in light, water, air, and nitrogen.
• Work on the production floor and in the lab. You will divide your time between the floor and the laboratory, performing hands-on verification checks, reviewing product quality, conducting testing, and supporting QA Technicians completing line checks.
• Lead verification and inspection activities. You will perform GMP self-inspections, conduct verification checks (including equipment verifications), complete routine audits, and ensure all documentation is accurate and audit-ready.
• Support investigations. You will assist in deviation investigations, including participating in equipment inspections, completing swabbing, coordinating sample pulls, gathering documentation, and collaborating with Production, Maintenance, and Warehouse teams to support root cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Collaborate across teams. You will work closely with Production, Maintenance, Warehouse, and Purchasing to ensure product quality and program compliance. You will support equipment or process deviations, help locate warehouse samples, and verify that standards are maintained.
• Support QMS program execution. You will complete administrative tasks, including program trackers, verification logs, routine reports, and other documentation required to support QA programs. You will help ensure that all programs are current, accurate, and audit-compliant.
• Provide support for QA Technicians. You will assist floor Technicians with questions, troubleshooting, sample pulls, and verifications. You will provide off-shift or PTO coverage to ensure continuity of testing, inspections, and documentation.
