Reporting to the Specifications Manager, you’ll be part of a busy, supportive team. Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Staying up to date with retailer standards and food legislation to guarantee compliance.
  • Supporting technical and NPD teams with key projects.
  • Mentoring and supporting other team members to ensure high standards across the department.

 

What Are We Looking For?

  • Previous experience as a Specifications Technologist in food manufacturing, ideally working with complex or multi-component products.
  • Proven track record of working with UK retailers and a strong understanding of retailer specification systems (experience with M&S or Aldi is highly desirable).
  • Excellent communication skills and a knack for building relationships.
  • A proactive approach and highly organised, with the ability to prioritise a busy workload to meet tight deadlines.
  • A collaborative mindset, with the ability to guide and support others.
  • Ideally educated to degree level in a food-related subject.
