Overview
As the Head of Technical, you will play a vital role in the site leadership team, reporting directly to the site director. You will lead all aspects of technical including food safety, compliance, quality, and hygiene teams, whilst advising, leading, and driving improvements in line with the site and divisional priorities.

This role would suit a Senior Technical Manager who is ready to progress to the next step; or an existing HoT that is ready to take on a more significant role. There is strong overall site, divisional and group technical support, and the site has taken on significant new business with ASDA & M&S, with plenty of exciting projects. There is opportunity for personal development and a structured development programme.
