Job description

Technical Manager – Food Manufacturing / FMCG

Drive Quality. Lead Innovation. Elevate Standards.

Want to work with brands in a non-manufacturing environment? If you’re the kind of Technical Manager who can taste opportunity as clearly as you can spot a non-conformance, this is your next move due to the nature of these growth brands.

You’ll join a business that takes pride in crafting quality food enjoyed every day – where innovation and consistency sit side by side. This isn’t just about compliance or ticking boxes. It’s about creating something people genuinely care about – food that connects people, crafted with integrity and passion and can be enjoyed over a coffee.

About the Role

As Technical Manager, you’ll take full ownership of food safety, quality, and compliance across a dynamic, fast‑paced environment. You’ll lead on technical strategy – ensuring the highest standards of product integrity, supplier assurance, and customer confidence.

You’ll be hands‑on in driving site audits, and ensuring all systems meet both legislative and internal expectations.

Candidate Profile

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Manager or Senior Quality professional that has experience of manufacturing and made‑in‑store food. HACCP Level 4 and Food Safety qualifications are essential, along with a proven track record of leading audits and managing supplier quality systems.

A natural leader who can build trust, motivate teams, and drive continuous improvement, you’ll thrive in an environment where quality, innovation, and experience matter in equal measure.

What’s on Offer

In return, you’ll join a people‑first business that invests in growth, sustainability, and your professional development. Expect autonomy, influence, and the opportunity to shape technical standards across a respected national brand that champions craft, care, and consistency in a model that is still very new.

Ready to Make an Impact?

If you’re a technically astute leader who thrives on responsibility and wants to be part of something authentic, apply today and help raise the bar for quality in UK food manufacturing.
