Work closely with QA, NPD, and production teams to ensure smooth product launches and compliance with food safety standards.
*
Maintain and improve BRCGS accreditation and retailer standards, ensuring best practices across the site.
*
Investigate customer complaints, non-conformances, and quality issues, driving continuous improvement initiatives.
*
Oversee HACCP, TACCP, and VACCP processes, ensuring they are effectively managed and up to date.
*
Develop and deliver training programs to upskill the technical and production teams.
*
Collaborate with suppliers and customers to ensure high standards in raw materials, finished products, and processes.
*
Identify opportunities for efficiency, cost savings, and process improvements while maintaining quality and compliance.
*
Play a key role in site expansion projects, ensuring technical and quality requirements align with business growth.
What We’re Looking For
*
Proven experience in a Technical Manager role (or similar) within food manufacturing.
*
Strong knowledge of BRCGS, retailer standards, HACCP, and food safety legislation.
*
Experience leading a technical/QA team in an SME or fast-paced manufacturing environment.
*
Ability to drive change, implement new processes, and work collaboratively across departments.
*
Confident communicator with the ability to engage teams and influence senior stakeholders.
*
A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a passion for food safety and quality.
*
Degree or equivalent qualification in Food Science, Food Technology, or a related field (preferred but not essential).
Why Join?
*
Opportunity to shape the technical function and make a significant impact.
*
Work in a growing SME with investment and ambitious expansion plans.
*
A chance to lead on exciting new projects and NPD launches.
*
Competitive salary with flexibility on hours for the right candidate.
