About You

Ideally, you must have some experience working in food and drink manufacturing, ideally in an NPD/Innovation/Development environment, or otherwise having experience in Quality/Technical/Production in a food manufacturing environment.  Up-to-date knowledge of labelling standards, allergen information and food related legislation would be hugely advantageous. 

If you do not have food or drink manufacturing experience, but you are a keen foodie, or you have cheffing experience with the desire to develop a career in the food industry, this development career opportunity may also appeal.

Enthusiastic, with a natural eagerness and willingness to learn, a professional manner and a supportive and pro-active mindset is key.  As is, strong communication skills (written and verbal), great interpersonal skills and the ability to multi-task, having the ability to work well with all levels of the business.

Ability to work effectively at pace is essential, as is a passion for food -  If you have interests in anything or everything food, this would be hugely advantageous.
