Job description

Have you worked in a laboratory before and want to test some of the nations most exciting food products? Want a lab based role with some progression opportunities?

You probably haven’t heard of this company, but it’s almost certain you’ve eaten one of their products in the last month. They provide a wide range of seasonings and coatings to some of the nation’s most famous plate fillers!

A competitive salary is on offer for the role, plus 24 days holiday (plus bank holidays), enhanced pension, life assurance cover and free on-site parking.

This role operates on a rotating shift pattern of 6am – 2pm & 2pm – 10pm.

In this role you will be working in an excellent facility with great equipment and test a range of ingredients and products that make up these famous recipes.

You’ll need solid IT skills and written English to record the results in an online system. Experience of databases and control systems would be helpful.

The role would really suit someone with some previous lab experience- even if that’s not with food.

Some experience of working in an environment governed by food standards and regulations would make you a strong candidate, or perhaps having worked in Quality / QA.

You'll be communicating product failures, re-ordering materials and consumables and supporting with other tasks in the manufacturing operation.
