Job Description
Ready to turn your foodie brain into supermarket gold - one seasonal hit at a time
Were working with a big player in Private Label meat world to find the perfect candidate to join this South Wales based team as a NPD Technologist - Its all about beef lamb and a serious amount of added value to put it simply!
From concept to launch youll take ideas from that first spark all the way to full-scale production. One day youre bench-testing a new marinade the next youre pulling on your boots for a factory trial then back at your desk refining recipes costings and specs for the retailers. Its food development in its purest form - creative technical a bit messy and incredibly satisfying when it all comes together.
Be the link between kitchen creativity and factory reality working closely with technical production and commercial teams to make sure whats dreamed up can actually be delivered.
Expect to get properly involved in seasonal projects. Youll find new joy when at a summer BBQ or round the table for Christmas dinner as you brag to your friends and family that you were the one to make this lovely meal happen from day 0.
This is big-scale stuff for the UKs major grocery retailers and it moves fast.
A food science background would be ideal or solid experience in product development - meat chilled or retailer-side will all serve you well. Youll need to be comfortable working at pace handling a few briefs at once and keeping your documentation tight (we know not the sexy part but essential).
Youll also be chatting with customers suppliers and your internal teams daily so clear communication and a bit of sparkle will go a long way.
This isnt a role for someone who wants to sit behind a desk and watch ideas float past. Its for the hands-on foodie who loves seeing their work land on shelf who gets a kick out of solving the how do we make this work puzzle.
If youre ready to join a team where innovation actually makes it through the factory doors and where your products end up on millions of plates it might be time to make your next move
