About the role

An experienced QSHE Supervisor is sought for an ongoing project in Honduras, leading the day-to-day implementation of SCA's contract QSHE programme at Soto Cano. The role focuses primarily on catering quality control, food safety and meal-service performance, while supporting the wider quality, health, safety and environmental compliance programme across the Base Life Support (BLS) scope. It is site-based, includes regular presence in food preparation and service areas, and calls for out-of-hours incident response.

Key responsibilities

• Verify meals are provided in the required three-meal cycle and within agreed service windows, and check presentation, portions, cleanliness, staffing and cleanup.
• Check and record hot-holding temperatures at or above 135°F and cold-holding at or below 41°F, confirm readings are taken at the right points and record excursions.
• Review food receipt, storage, segregation, thawing, preparation, cooking, cooling, reheating and service controls, and verify hand hygiene, illness reporting, protective clothing, pest controls, potable water and ice controls, waste handling and contamination protection.
• Coordinate daily food-service inspections with the catering provider and Government representatives, respond to COR or Preventive Medicine Officer observations and track items to closure, submitting temperature logs weekly or when requested.
• Stop or hold any food or service posing an immediate food-safety risk until a competent disposition is made.
• Trend meal-window performance, temperature results, complaints and provider performance, recommend corrective action and conduct monthly QSHE surveillance audits.
• Implement the contract QCP and QSHE plans, keep site practices aligned with the contract, PWS, PRS and Honduran requirements, and coordinate risk assessments, inspections and incident reporting across site facilities and services.
• Support surge readiness from 350 to 600 personnel within the 96-hour notice period, and support verification of temporary refrigerated human-remains units when ordered.
• Promote safe work, environmental protection, security awareness and OPSEC, report incidents and near misses, and escalate contractual changes to the Site Manager.

Required profile

• Proficiency in written and spoken English; Spanish and experience with local suppliers and authorities desirable.
• Demonstrable experience in quality, food safety or QSHE supervision in catering, institutional food service, military support, remote-site operations or a comparable high-tempo environment.
• Recognised food-safety and HACCP training appropriate to supervising catering operations.
• Desirable: HACCP Level 3 or equivalent, food-safety auditor or internal-auditor training, NEBOSH, IOSH or equivalent, ISO 9001/22000 audit experience, and experience on U.S. Government, military or overseas base-life-support contracts.
