About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Process Development Technologist to join our team at The Compleat Food Group. As a key member of our Product Development team, you will play a crucial role in the launch of new and improved products, ensuring they meet our high standards of quality, taste, and safety.

Key Responsibilities
  • Plan, organize, and deliver factory trials to launch new products, ensuring timely and cost-effective execution.
  • Resolve challenges that new products and processes bring to the factory, finding innovative solutions to improve quality and efficiency.
  • Work closely with the NPD team, Managers, and Chefs to create new products that meet customer requirements.
  • Collaborate with Operations and Technical teams to deliver efficient, great-tasting, and quality products.
  • Support and deputize for the Process Development Manager, taking a key role in meetings and costing builds.
  • Complete paperwork required to launch new products, including shelf life testing, organoleptic reviews, nutritional testing, and QA Standards.

About You

We are looking for someone with a positive can-do attitude, able to work calmly under pressure. Time management and communication skills are essential, as is the ability to problem-solve and see the bigger picture. You will be working in a fast-paced environment, with a mix of factory and office duties. Experience in a similar role or food manufacturing is desirable, but not essential if you are eager to learn and self-motivated.

Requirements

  • Food manufacturing experience within an FMCG environment.
  • HACCP/Food Safety Training/basic knowledge.
  • Computer skills.
What We Offer
  • A competitive salary of £28,000 per annum.
  • 33 days annual leave, including Bank Holidays.
  • Pension scheme with 5% and 3% employer contributions.
  • 2 Volunteering Days per year.
  • Onsite parking and staff canteen.
  • Informal and formal training and development opportunities.
  • Staff charity initiatives and health and well-being support.
  • Online and high-street discount portal.
