About Us
Mid-Day Squares is redefining the way we snack. We’re leading the charge in the afternoon snacking market, creating snacks that fuel your day and make you feel good - without compromise.
But we’re more than just a snack company. We build from first principles, thinking about how to grow this business through our own lens rather than following the conventional playbook. We show up as our unapologetic selves and share the raw, unfiltered journey of what it takes to make it happen.
Our mission?
To bring our community along for the ride and inspire people to be bold - whatever that looks like for them.
We’re a fast-growing company based in Montreal, and we’re looking for a Quality Control Technician to help us build.
Role Overview
Performs and records food safety and quality checks during the assigned shift, from ingredient receiving through finished packaging. Works directly with operators to identify deviations, contain affected product, and alert the supervisor.
Main Responsibilities
- Receiving. Check incoming ingredients and packaging against approved specifications. Verify identity, lot codes, condition, and required supplier documents. Record discrepancies before materials are used.
- Pre-operational and changeover inspections. Check cleanliness, allergen changeover requirements, and removal of materials from the previous run. Verify the correct ingredients, packaging, and labels before start-up.
- In-process and packaging checks. Check product attributes against specifications, including jelly texture or slab thickness where applicable. Verify weight, seal integrity, pack count, label, lot code, and best-before date at the required frequency.
- X-ray monitoring. Perform scheduled challenge tests according to the site procedure. Confirm the reject mechanism works, identify rejected product, and record results. Immediately escalate any failed check.
- Deviations and holds. Identify the affected lot and production period. Follow the applicable procedure to stop or contain affected production, label and isolate product, record the quantity, and notify the supervisor.
- Records and handover. Record actual results when each check is performed. At shift change, tell the incoming technician which lots are on hold, where they are located, and what checks or decisions are pending.
Decision Authority
Initiates containment and product holds under site procedures. Keeps affected product on hold until an authorized person documents its disposition.
Preferred Qualifications
- Relevant experience. 3+ years of hands-on QC inspection experience in a food manufacturing environment; experience with packaged food production is an asset.
- Food safety knowledge. Strong working knowledge of GMPs, HACCP-based controls, allergen changeovers, sanitation verification, lot traceability, and label checks.
- Technical execution. Demonstrated ability to complete in-process and packaging checks, verify X-ray monitoring equipment, and recognize out-of-specification results.
- Product containment. Sound judgment to identify affected lots, initiate holds under approved procedures, and escalate deviations promptly without making unauthorized release decisions.
- Documentation and communication. Accurate, timely recordkeeping; clear communication with operators and the Quality Supervisor; reliable shift handovers.
- Training and working style. Training in food science or food technology is an asset. Detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable working independently on the production floor within established procedures.
