* Driving continuous improvement and value engineering to enhance product quality and efficiency
* Working with cross‑functional teams including Technical, Operations, and Engineering to ensure smooth implementation of changes
* Supporting the introduction of new technologies aligned with the Product Development Strategy
What's On Offer
* £35,000 – £40,000 salary
* A site‑based role at a major food production facility
* Real influence on how new products are developed, tested, and launched
* A chance to be part of a collaborative, forward‑thinking NPD team
What We're Looking For
* A degree in Food Science or a similar technical field
* Previous experience in food manufacturing (FMCG), ideally in a process, development, or NPD‑focused role
* Understanding of key food production methods—extrusion, frying, baking, sheeting, and flavouring
* Strong problem‑solving abilities and a drive for continuous improvement
* A genuine enthusiasm for food, innovation, and quality
