This is what you’ll actually do! As our Development Technologist, you’ll be hands-on in the bakery every day, supporting the development of new and existing products. You’ll be responsible for producing development samples, carrying out trials, and supporting production-based development work to tight timelines. You’ll regularly take samples from the bakery, prepare them for internal review or customer submission, and ensure they are sent out promptly. Alongside this, you’ll support recipe design and development, order raw materials for trials, and maintain accurate records of formulations and processes. Working closely with teams across Technical, Operations, Planning, and Compliance, you’ll help ensure all development work meets food safety, quality, allergen, and hygiene standards. This is a fast-paced role that requires flexibility, organisation, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. You’ll also contribute ideas, support continuous improvement, and help drive innovation within a growing and dynamic development environment. Ideally this is you!
