  • Contributing to the overall success of the department by collaborating with colleagues on various projects.


The Ideal Candidate:


  • A degree in food science or a related qualification.
  • Previous experience in a Product Development Technologist role or a similar position.
  • Experience working in the FMCG or food manufacturing environment.
  • A background in developing bakery-style products, including gluten-free and vegan.
  • Creativity, innovation, and the ability to think beyond everyday challenges.
  • Competency in using spreadsheets and similar systems.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills with the ability to meet deadlines under pressure.


What’s On Offer:


  • A competitive salary ranging from £30-£35k, depending on experience and qualifications.
  • A 39-hour workweek, with hours between 8:00 am and 4:15 pm, and an additional 15 minutes once per week.
  • Staff discounts on the company’s products.
  • Opportunities to acquire new skills and participate in training within the development department.
  • Stability within a long-established, forward-thinking company.
  • The chance to work on products that move from concept to the customer’s plate, contributing to the company’s strong presence in the foodservice market.


This role offers an exciting opportunity for a motivated and creative individual to join a company that values both tradition and innovation. The recruiter invites candidates who are passionate about food development and eager to take on a new challenge to apply now.
