Quality Engineer - Syrup

At Torani, we’re continuing our journey toward the $1 Billion vision and we’re looking for team members who want to help build what’s next. As we scale our syrup operations, the strength of our quality systems and the people who bring them to life will be critical to delivering consistent, safe, high-quality flavor every time.

We’re looking for a Quality Engineer to support and strengthen the execution of quality systems within our syrup operation. In this role, you’ll develop a deep understanding of our processes, products, and quality expectations, and work closely with Manufacturing, Maintenance, Warehouse, and Quality teams to ensure those expectations hold up in the realities of daily production. You’ll play an active role in investigating issues, analyzing data, and helping translate quality standards into clear, practical execution all while building your capability to think critically about how and why things work.

At Torani, a Certified B Corporation, we flavor more than just drinks we flavor lives. You’ll join a people-first, purpose-driven team where you’ll be challenged to grow your technical skills, strengthen your operational thinking, and contribute to continuous improvement in meaningful ways.

Through analysis of quality metrics, process trends, and observations, you identified patterns and supported improvement efforts across the operation. You participated in operational excellence initiatives and continuous improvement activities, bringing curiosity and a willingness to challenge assumptions. Your contributions helped strengthen decision-making and reinforce a culture of learning and improvement.
• Capability Builder & Quality Advocate: You played an active role in reinforcing quality expectations across the team by supporting technicians and operators in their day-to-day work. Through clear communication, hands-on support, and a willingness to engage, you helped others better understand quality standards and how to apply them.
