Give yourself a healthy career boost in this supplier facing Technical Manager opportunity.
Back in, in a beautiful part of the country, a clever chap with a yearning for healthy nourishing food decided to start his own business. Surrounded by the lush landscape and fertile soil, he tapped into the growers of fresh produce virtually on his doorstep. Fast-forward 34 years and the business continues to go from strength to strength. Join this business and you can too.
A perfect example of progression is the person you’ll report to, who joined as a grad and is now the Head of Technical. Indeed, this role is vacant because the incumbent has crossed over into NPD. So, you begin to get the picture; it’s a place where you can grow too.
The supplier base has grown exponentially with the business needs, with raw materials sourced from the UK, Europe, and SE Asia. This is where your focus will lie, maintaining and developing processes for technical approval, covering fresh produce, ingredients, and packaging, including new supplier approval and raw materials.
Your experience will come from working in a food manufacturing environment, preferably supplier facing where you have created raw material specifications and been involved in external auditing. You understand UK retailers’ codes of practice and quality standards with awareness around food safety risks and allergens.
There will be some travel involved to audit suppliers, therefore a full UK driving licence is essential.
To find out more about the scope and potential in the role, send your CV to me, Alison and I’ll be in touch to share all the details.
Please note, you must be eligible to work in the UK without requiring company sponsorship.
