The Quality Assurance and Quality Control professional will be responsible for ensuring the quality and safety of Lilly's Fresh Pasta products through conducting quality control inspections and audits, implementing and maintaining quality control procedures, and ensuring adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). The QA/QC professional will contribute to the continuous improvement of the company's quality systems and play a vital role in maintaining the high standards that Lilly's Fresh Pasta is know for.ABOUT THE COMPANY In April of 1986, Lilly's Fresh Pasta opened its doors. Once local chefs tasted Lilly's signature pasta and creative ravioli, the response was overwhelmingly positive - the orders began flowing in. The beginning was still full of hardships, the family's struggles compounded when Giovanni sadly passed away in 1991. Suddenly a single mother and sole proprietor, Lilly kept her nose to the grindstone at yet another time when most would have given up; she continued to amass customers with her truly excellent pasta, creative recipes, and a willingness to collaborate with chefs for specialty dishes (a unique business model we still honor). Soon, Lilly's Fresh Pasta grew into Boston's most beloved pasta manufacturer. For three decades now, Lilly's has been the go-to supplier for restaurants in the North End (Boston's mecca of Italian cuisine and culture) and, since Lilly's Son Antonio Dalelio now at the helm and foraying into broadline distribution in 2010, Lilly's has expanded across 38 States and growing with a clear vision and mission to be Americas #1 Choice for premium Quality pasta products.
