Exciting Opportunity: Interim Head of Technical – Food Manufacturing
Location: Midlands, UK
Duration: 3-6 Months (Interim)

Start Date: ASAP
Industry: Food Manufacturing

 

Are you ready to take on a challenge that will test your technical expertise, your people leadership skills, and your ability to deliver at a critical time of year?


I’m looking for a talented Interim Head of Technical to lead one of our client’s technical teams through an exciting and challenging period. As the festive season approaches, you'll play a key role in ensuring that their products are delivered on time for Christmas – a crucial time for our client and their customers.

 

What’s the challenge?
As Interim Head of Technical, you’ll be at the heart of technical operations; ensuring food safety, quality, and compliance are always top-notch. You’ll be leading a skilled team to ensure the site is ready to deliver high-quality products to customers in time for the holidays. It’s not just about maintaining standards – it’s about improving processes, driving efficiencies, and making sure that the site is fully prepared to meet seasonal demand.

 

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):

  • Lead & Inspire a team of technical experts, especially as they gear up for the busy festive season.
  • Drive Food Safety & Quality ensuring compliance with BRC, HACCP, and FSA.
  • Optimize Processes to improve efficiency and meet tight deadlines.
  • Collaborate across teams to ensure smooth production and timely delivery.
  • Ensure Compliance & Quality with all audits, inspections, and customer standards.

 

What Makes You a Great Fit:

  • You’re not just an expert in food safety and quality – you’re a people leader who excels at motivating your team and driving performance, especially during high-pressure periods.
  • You thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where adaptability, quick thinking, and a strong sense of urgency are essential.
  • You bring a hands-on, problem-solving approach to every challenge, finding practical solutions that keep production flowing smoothly, even as the Christmas deadlines loom.
  • You have proven experience in a senior technical role within food manufacturing, with expertise in BRC, HACCP, and FSA regulations.
  • Your communication skills are top-notch, and you’re confident in engaging with teams, customers, and auditors alike.

 

Why This Opportunity Is Unique:

  • A Real Challenge – The holiday season is fast approaching, and we need someone who can rise to the challenge of delivering on time, no matter what obstacles arise.
  • Impact & Influence – Your leadership will directly influence the success of their seasonal production, ensuring that products are delivered with the highest quality and on schedule for Christmas.
  • A Collaborative Environment – Work closely with senior management and cross-functional teams to ensure everyone is aligned and working towards a common goal – delivering products on time and to the highest standards.

 

Ready to Lead the Charge and Deliver Christmas on Time?
If you’re an experienced technical leader with a passion for food manufacturing and a knack for managing people and processes under pressure, we want you! This is your chance to make a real impact during a pivotal time for the business.
