Are you passionate about food quality and science? Oregon Fruit Company is looking for a detail-oriented QA Technician to join our team and help ensure every product we ship meets the highest standards of safety, flavor, and consistency.

Oregon Fruit Company is a values-driven food manufacturer committed to quality from field to finished product. We're proud of what we make — and we want you to be too.

• Manage sensory cutting sessions — setup, evaluation, and cleanup
• Perform shelf life evaluations and schedule testing
  
  Support QC Technicians on the production floor as needed
• Assist in developing and revising specifications and procedures

This role gets exciting June through September during our fresh fruit harvest season — availability to work 7 days/week during that period is required. It's busy, rewarding, and a core part of what makes this role unique.

• Bachelor's degree in Food Science, Microbiology, or a related field — OR 6 months to 1 year of hands‑on QA experience
• Food manufacturing background is a plus
• Strong computer skills: email, data entry, ERP systems, document management
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods
• Analytical mindset — you can identify problems, gather data, and draw sound conclusions
• A team player who communicates clearly and shows up reliably

At Oregon Fruit Company, you'll play a direct role in the quality of products people love. You'll work in both a lab and production environment, grow your technical expertise, and be part of a team that genuinely cares about doing things right.
