Job Description:

This isn’t your average graduate role. As part of the Technical Team, you’ll play a hands-on role in ensuring the fresh produce we grow, source, process, and package meets the highest standards in Legal, Safety, Quality, Ethical, and Sustainability benchmarks.

Why You’ll Love This Role:

• Real Responsibility from Day One – You’ll have a direct impact on the quality and sustainability of products enjoyed by millions, working closely with suppliers, international farms, packhouses, and major UK retailers.
• See the World – Expect national and international travel as you visit supplier sites and gain invaluable experience through on-the-ground auditing and quality checks around the globe.
• Rapid Growth & Development – You’ll be supported with tailored training, mentorship, and development opportunities as you grow into a specialist within the fresh produce industry.
• Make a Difference – From supporting ethical practices to improving sustainability standards, your work helps shape a better food system.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Assessing and making decisions on product quality, seasonality, and compliance
• Managing and maintaining accurate supplier records to ensure full due diligence
• Engaging with suppliers to drive improvements in ethical, quality, and sustainability standards
• Providing clear and concise internal reporting for both customers and stakeholders
• Taking part in internal audits and customer-facing meetings
• Leading relationships with key suppliers and tracking their KPIs
• Managing customer specifications and updating relevant internal databases
• Acting as a product expert and supporting new product development
• Coordinating sample preparation and benchmarking activities
• Compiling monthly KPI reports for internal and external use
• Performing ad hoc tasks that contribute to the team’s overall success

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency in Excel and other computer applications
• A proactive, detail-oriented mindset with a passion for food and sustainability

Whether you’re passionate about food quality, international travel, sustainability-or all three-this is your chance to build a meaningful career with a company that’s shaping the future of fresh produce.
