Process Technologist

If you enjoy seeing products go from idea → trial → supermarket shelf, this one’s worth a look.

I’m working with a large manufacturer looking to strengthen their Process Development team.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being in the factory, running trials, solving problems and making sure products actually work at scale… not just in the test kitchen when everyone’s pretending the process is “straightforward”.

What you’ll be doing:

Taking products from concept through to launch
Scaling products from test bakery to full production
Running factory trials alongside Operations, Process and Technical teams
Sourcing new raw materials and ingredients
Managing projects across key retail accounts including Morrisons and Asda
Supporting customer submissions when needed
Conducting store visits and benchmarking competitor products
Spotting opportunities for innovation and quality improvements

What they’re looking for:

Experience within food manufacturing
Ideally recent bakery experience
Someone who can manage projects independently
Organised, proactive and comfortable working cross-functionally
Food related qualification ideal, but not essential

Why consider it?

Proper end-to-end NPD exposure
Lots of factory and trial involvement
Exposure to major retail customers
Stable, growing manufacturer
Clear opportunity to develop your career in Process/NPD

If you’re happy where you are but open to hearing about a solid bakery process role, it’s worth a conversation
