As our Quality Assurance Officer, you'll help protect the trust our customers place in Harris Farm Markets (HFM) every time they pick up one of our products. Working across our production network, you'll partner with buying teams, warehouse leaders, suppliers and regulators to make sure every (HFM) branded product meets the highest standards for safety, quality and compliance.

You'll lead audits, testing programs, supplier relationships and continuous improvement initiatives that keep us one step ahead. You'll spend your time solving problems, building capability and making sure quality is built into everything we do.

Why Harris Farm?

We're not your typical Fresh Food Market. We're a family owned Australian business that's been backing growers, reducing food waste and doing things differently for more than 50 years.

You'll have the opportunity to influence quality across our production network, work alongside passionate people who genuinely care about doing things well and help protect a brand that customers trust every day.
