Data Logger Analyst – HACCP/Temperature Tracking

The Senior Data Logger Analyst is responsible for overseeing the full scope of temperature and environmental data logging systems across manufacturing and supply chain operations. The role ensures HACCP compliance, regulatory adherence, and accurate documentation related to critical control points (CCPs) and preventive controls. This includes strategic data analytics, audit readiness, team supervision, and system optimization.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Strategic Oversight of Logging Systems

• Lead the design, deployment, and validation of data logging systems for cold rooms, processing zones, hot-hold areas, and transport vehicles.

• Manage end-to-end logger operations, including sensor configuration, calibration protocols, and data integrity reviews.

2. HACCP Compliance & Audit Readiness

• Ensure consistent monitoring of CCPs through real-time and batch-based temperature/humidity tracking.

• Prepare comprehensive reports, deviation summaries, and CAPA documentation for internal and external audits.

• Serve as the primary liaison for certification bodies (e.g., BRCGS, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, FSMA, FDA).

3. Advanced Data Analysis & Reporting

• Analyze historical logger data to detect trends, anomalies, or risk patterns across production and logistics operations.

• Generate dashboards and compliance KPIs using software such as Excel, Power BI, or logger-specific platforms.

4. Team Leadership & Training

• Supervise junior and mid-level data logger analysts and train cross-functional teams on HACCP data logging protocols.

• Develop SOPs, work instructions, and training modules for logger use and compliance monitoring.

5. Calibration & Validation Management

• Oversee the calibration schedule and performance checks for all logging devices in collaboration with QA and maintenance teams.

• Participate in temperature mapping studies, seasonal re-validations, and thermal profiling exercises.

6. Technology & System Optimization

• Evaluate new IoT-based logger systems and software upgrades to improve traceability and automation.

• Collaborate with IT and vendors on system integrations, cloud storage solutions, and alert mechanisms.

Key Focus Areas:

• HACCP compliance through environmental monitoring systems

• Advanced temperature/humidity data analytics and deviation management

• Audit readiness and regulatory reporting (BRC, FDA, FSSAI, ISO 22000, FSMA)

• Calibration program oversight and sensor traceability

• Cross-functional leadership (QA, Maintenance, Production, Logistics)

• Digital transformation and data logger automation

• Dashboard creation and predictive compliance modeling

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Food Technology, Instrumentation, Electronics, QA/QC, or related field

• 5–10 years’ experience in temperature-sensitive manufacturing or food safety systems

• Deep understanding of HACCP principles, GxP standards, and thermal validation

• Experience with logger brands/software (Testo, Elitech, LogTag, MadgeTech, etc.)

• Strong analytical, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills

Certifications (Highly Preferred):

• HACCP Level 3 or 4

• Internal Auditor – ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000

• PCQI (Preventive Controls Qualified Individual)

• Calibration/Validation Specialist certification

• Six Sigma/Lean QA background (optional)
