This role would suit a Food Science, Food Technology or Nutrition graduate looking to build on their industry experience, as well as an experienced Development Technologist ready for their next challenge.
Working with leading retail and foodservice customers, you'll support the delivery of exciting new products, coordinate factory trials, develop recipes and packaging, and ensure every launch is delivered on time, to specification and to the highest quality standards.

Prepare product samples for customer submissions.
Coordinate factory trials, product testing and shelf-life evaluations.
Produce specifications, artwork approvals and technical documentation.

Ensure all products meet food safety, quality and legal requirements.

Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects.
Strong communication skills and attention to detail.
Good IT skills, including Microsoft Excel.
HACCP knowledge is desirable, along with experience of packaging development or artwork approval.
Join a collaborative and innovative business where you'll gain hands-on experience across the full product development lifecycle, work with well-known customers and develop your career within a supportive NPD team.
