  • Drive and monitor technical projects and trials, ensuring they meet deadlines and deliver results.
  • Provide technical support across other departments such as Procurement, Operations, and Quality Assurance (QA).
  • Produce and present monthly reports to update the Technical Director and site management on team activities and progress.
  • Support the creation of "right first time" packaging solutions that meet customer and site requirements.
  • Promote a culture of safety and compliance across the Technical and Food Science departments.
  • Engage with Field Technical Services to offer customer trial support or investigate complaints.
  • Conduct customer visits as needed to provide technical support.

Candidate Profile:

  • A solid experience managing a team or department.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and organisational skills.
  • Experience in project management and product development processes.
  • Experience in packaging, print, or conversion is highly advantageous.

What's on Offer:
This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic and innovative company where you can take a hands-on approach to technical and food science leadership. The role offers a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits package, and the chance to make a significant impact on the business's continued success.

Key Benefits:

  • Medicash Scheme: Contributions towards dental, diagnostic tests, and more, with the option to add family members.
  • Pension: 5% employee, 4% employer contributions, plus access to a salary sacrifice scheme and independent financial advice.
  • Annual Leave: 25 days (plus bank holidays), increasing to 28 days.
