The experience you’ll bring to the team

We’re looking for someone with a strong technical foundation and hands-on experience in a manufacturing or process-driven environment—ideally within a regulated sector. You’ll need to be precise, organised and confident navigating technical documentation and compliance standards.

We're looking for someone with:

• Degree or HND in a relevant food science or technical field
• Experience in a specifications or technical role, ideally with exposure to customer and regulatory requirements.
• Knowledge of UK and EU legislation, particularly around product compliance and labelling.
• Strong IT and data handling skills, including Microsoft Office.
• Excellent attention to detail and written communication.
• Able to prioritise tasks and work to deadlines.
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a close-knit team.
• Full UK driving licence and access to own vehicle.
• Full right to work in the UK.

And this is what you’ll get in return
