## Job description

### Lead the technical function at an ambitious UK food business.

This role would be ideal for someone wanting to step up into a Technical Manager role or early in their career at a similar level.

Our client is a growing food business looking for a hands-on Technical Manager to take ownership of food safety, quality and legal compliance across its site and supply chain. You’ll set the technical direction, lead it day to day and be the go-to expert for the wider team, with experienced mentoring available as you grow into the role.

### What you’ll be doing

- Leading the site’s food safety programme: HACCP, GMP audits, quality KPIs, and complaint investigation through to corrective action

- Developing the quality management system, and training the operations team so standards are lived on the floor

•

### Maintaining and developing the site’s third-party accreditations

•

### Owning non-conformances, incidents, withdrawals and recalls

- Managing supplier approval and performance, including VACCP, raw material intake and specifications

- Signing off new and existing products for compliance, covering labelling, claims and artwork

- Providing technical input on site improvement, digitisation and efficiency projects

### What you’ll bring

- A degree in food science, food technology or a related subject

- 5+ years in food technical or quality roles

- Experience managing third-party certification (e.g. BRCGS, SALSA)

- Experience running several cross-functional projects at once

- A practical, commercially minded approach suited to a fast-moving business

- Strong communication skills and the confidence to coach and train others

### Why apply?

- A business with real momentum

- Genuine ownership of the technical function

- Ongoing development and mentoring

**Live in the employer’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
