• Driving continuous improvement and value engineering to enhance product quality and efficiency
• Working with cross-functional teams including Technical, Operations, and Engineering to ensure smooth implementation of changes
• Supporting the introduction of new technologies aligned with the Product Development Strategy
  
  

What's On Offer

• £45,000 salary
• A site-based role at a major food production facility
• Real influence on how new products are developed, tested, and launched
• A chance to be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking NPD team
  
  

What We're Looking For

• A degree in Food Science, Chemical Engineering, or a similar technical field
• Previous experience in food manufacturing (FMCG), ideally in a process, development, or NPD-focused role
• Understanding of key food production methods-such as extrusion, frying, baking, sheeting, and flavouring
• Strong problem-solving abilities and a drive for continuous improvement
• A genuine enthusiasm for food, innovation, and quality
