Job Details

Packing Quality Control

  • Inspect packaging (PP bags, pallets, labels, markings) at the factory to ensure 100% compliance with each order's technical requirements (packing list, PO, customer instructions)

  • Cross-check actual packing specifications against the standards agreed between TLD and the factory (bag weight, bag type, thickness, pallet stacking, wrapping film, etc.)

  • Detect and promptly report any packing deviations before goods are loaded into containers or shipped out

Product Quality Inspection

  • Sample and test CaCO₃ quality parameters (whiteness, fineness, moisture, impurities, etc.) against order specifications

  • Cross-check factory-issued quality results with independent sampling when necessary

  • Maintain organized, complete quality records (COA, inspection reports) for each shipment/batch

On-Site Factory Monitoring

  • Maintain regular physical presence or direct contact with factories to stay informed of issues arising in production (delays, raw material shortages, equipment breakdowns, labor shortages, etc.)

  • Identify and report risks early that could affect product quality or delivery timelines

Production Progress Tracking

  • Track actual production progress for each order at each factory (percentage completed, expected completion date)

  • Compile and report progress regularly (daily/weekly) to the Operations team to support booking plans, vessel schedules, and customer notifications

Internal Coordination

  • Serve as the on-the-ground information link between the factory and Operations/Sales — provide timely input when issues arise that could affect the shipping plan

  • Propose improvements to packing and quality control processes when inefficiencies are identified

Requirements

Experience & Expertise

  • Minimum 1–2 years of experience in QC, QA, or production control — preferably in mining, chemicals, construction materials, or bagged export goods

  • Basic understanding of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) production is a plus; training can be provided for candidates with a strong technical foundation

  • Familiarity with export quality documentation (COA, Certificate of Weight, packing list)

Skills

  • Detail-oriented, careful, and able to spot small deviations in packing specifications and product quality

  • Strong communication skills for direct interaction with factory supervisors/workers — must be proactive and assertive when requiring corrective action from the factory

  • Clear, concise reporting skills (progress reports, incident reports)

  • Basic Excel skills for tracking and consolidating data preferred

Other Requirements

  • Own transportation or willingness to travel frequently to factories (in and around Cairo)

  • Honest and highly responsible — this role directly represents the company's interests on the production floor

  • Basic conversational English is a plus (documents/reports may be in English/Arabic)

  • Proactive, hands-on attitude, able to work independently when management is not on-site at the factory
