  At Mistev EHC, we have a unique culture that puts individuals at the heart, empowering them to take ownership of their decisions with high-level management support.

  
  

The role

•  Conducting veterinary checks at meat establishments (cutting plants) to support the competent authority in ensuring that products intended for the Chinese meat export market meet all safety standards.


• It's really helpful to get to know the Scottish Manual for Official Controls along with the current laws that apply to meat establishments. This way, you can be confident you're on the right track and well-informed.


• Knowing the EHC requirements (Export Health Certification) and NFG (Notes for Guidance) for each export to both EU and non-EU countries beforehand, and keeping up to date with any new requirements or changes.  


• Visiting export locations, such as slaughterhouses, cutting plants, cold stores, meat and meat product establishments, and retailers, to conduct on-site export certification to the highest standard. If the candidate doesn't have the necessary qualifications to perform export certification, Mistev EHC can provide this service.  


• To provide the best service possible, we maintain regular contact with our customers and their representatives. We aim to build strong relationships and continually look for ways to get better, ensuring everyone feels valued and heard.
