• Manage pest control contracts, including routine visits, reporting, and corrective actions
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives relating to hygiene and food safety

• Proven experience in a hygiene management role within food manufacturing
• Experience working in soups, sauces, or liquid‑based production environments is highly desirable
