The Company
Our client is a fast-growing food manufacturer supplying a diverse customer base across the bakery, beverage and dessert foodservice sectors. Known for developing high-quality sweet bakery products, desserts and beverage solutions, they partner with customers to deliver innovative products that meet evolving consumer trends and operational requirements. With ambitious growth plans and continued investment in product innovation, quality and manufacturing capability, they have created a new role for an experienced NPD Food Technologist to become a key part of their product development function. This is a business with real momentum, a collaborative culture and a genuine passion for creating exceptional products for the out-of-home market.

Quality, food safety and consistency will be central to the role, and you'll play an important part in maintaining and developing robust quality systems. You'll help drive continuous improvement, ensure compliance with customer requirements and support the successful transfer of products from development into full-scale production.
The Person
Ideally educated to degree level in Food Science or a related discipline, you'll currently be working within a factory-based NPD role and be comfortable managing technical challenges, ingredient functionality and supplier relationships.
