Job Details

The Company

Our client is a major supplier of premium chilled and frozen products for the UK retailers. With their people focussed approach coupled with their passion for creativity and responsible sourcing, they are now seeking a Specifications Technologist to join their technical team.

The Role

You'll be responsible for managing final product specifications for all customers using their web based systems. This will include liaising with external suppliers and taking ownership of technical information and due diligence for new products being launched. You will assist with the management of the critical path in line with specification deadlines, collating data from factory trials and guaranteeing that all information is accurate and up to date.

You’ll also be supporting Technical and Process teams where you’ll provide technical validation for processes within new product development, ensuring that all products are in line with company and customer values and standards. You’ll also be responsible for supporting documentation such as quality attribute sheets, pack copy, artwork sign off and labels.

The Person

We are looking for a motivated Specifications Technologist who has previous experience in a similar role where you have used the retailer’s online spec systems. Ideally you’ll have a food science degree, although this is not essential as candidates with specific and relevant food manufacturing experience will also be considered. Good analytical, organisation and prioritisation skills alongside a keen eye for detail are a must in order to achieve success in this role as you will be working to tight deadlines. You will also have great communication skills as you will be in frequent liaison with internal and external colleagues as well as high profile customers.

If you have the drive and enthusiasm to take on a new challenge where you can progress your technical career then apply now or call us for more information 0345 2600 737.
