The Advocate Group is proud to be exclusively partnering with Monster Energy, a global drinks powerhouse and one of the most recognisable brands in the world, to support the hire of a Technical Specialist within their EMEA Operations team.
Monster Energy continues to invest heavily in innovation, with a fast-moving pipeline of new products launching across Europe and beyond. This role sits at the critical final stage of the innovation process, ensuring new formulas are successfully implemented and executed at manufacturing sites.
The Opportunity
This is a hands-on, execution-led technical role, ideal for someone who enjoys being close to manufacturing, working cross-functionally, and playing a key role in bringing products to life.
Reporting into a Senior Technical Manager, you’ll support the delivery of new products across Monster’s third-party manufacturing network, working closely with NPD, QA, QC, Planning and Supply Chain teams. The role has been created through progression within the team and offers clear scope for development over time.
With exposure across EMEA (including international travel), this is a fantastic opportunity to build deep technical experience within a globally recognised FMCG business.
Key Responsibilities
* Support and execute manufacturing trials across EMEA bottling sites
* Assist with the implementation of formulas into production environments
* Prepare trial plans, reports and site-specific manufacturing instructions
* Conduct product tasting and sensory assessments against reference standards
* Work closely with QA and QC teams to manage quality, compliance and risk
* Troubleshoot technical issues during trials and early-stage production
* Build strong relationships with third-party manufacturers and internal teams
* Maintain accurate technical documentation and manage tasks within Monster’s internal systems
What Monster Is Looking For
* A technically curious, hands-on individual with exposure to manufacturing or production environments
* Experience working within a quality framework (QA / QC interaction highly beneficial)
* Comfortable spending time on manufacturing sites and building strong working relationships
* Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams
* Confident communicator, able to work cross-functionally and externally
* Open to regular travel (c. 50%) across EMEA
This role is not about being a finished article - attitude, curiosity and willingness to learn are key.
