Do you have experience working as a Process Technologist in the food industry?
A leading UK food manufacturer is looking for a Process Technologist to join their NPD team. This role is perfect for someone who loves working with bakery products and enjoys seeing ideas move from the kitchen to full-scale production.
Responsibilities:
* Run trials in the factory (e.g., testing how products are made, packaged, and baked).
* Plan and organise trials, including ordering ingredients and coordinating with other teams like Production and Engineering.
* Record and review trial results (e.g., machine settings, baking times, weights, and decoration details).
* Collect samples for testing things like shelf life, nutrition and customer approvals.
* Manage testing for food safety and nutrition results, keeping records up to date.
* Write reports based on trial results and share them with the team.
* Work closely with different departments to ensure smooth product launches.
* Help with admin tasks, ad-hoc projects and responding to customer sample requests.
Requirements:
* Experience as a Process Technologist in the food industry (bonus if it's bakery-related).
* A good understanding of how bakery ingredients work.
* Basic food safety and hygiene qualifications (HACCP Level 3 preferred).
* Strong attention to detail, communication, and organisation skills.
* A flexible, hands-on attitude and the ability to work with different teams to meet deadlines.
* A degree in a relevant science subject is desirable but not essential.
