  • Develop and adapt recipes and processes for commissioning new plant or equipment. Assist with the installation of associated peripheral systems and prepare procedural changes as needed.
  • Prepare pack copy and product specifications for new products.
  • Transfer approved recipes from pilot/trial scale to production scale, issuing and controlling all relevant documentation.
  • Evaluate competitors' products and stay informed on industry trends.

Required Skills and Experience:

  • Strong scientific knowledge with the ability to learn quickly.
  • Genuine interest in product development.
  • Strong computer and numeracy skills.
  • A logical approach to problem-solving.
  • BSc or higher in a science-based subject.
  • At least 2 years of experience in the consumer goods or manufacturing industry is preferred.
  • Knowledge of dairy or food processing is a plus.
  • Experience with recipe development software such as Bestmix would be an advantage.

Attributes:

  • Excellent communication skills, able to engage at senior levels both internally and externally.
  • Capable of working collaboratively across departments and with external partners.
  • Comfortable with data analysis and scientifically literate.

If you are looking to join a dynamic team and help drive innovation in the food manufacturing industry, we would love to hear from you. Apply now to be part of this exciting opportunity with a leading manufacturer in Cumbria
