Food Manufacturing

£70,000 - £75,000 + Car Allowance & Bonus

If you're someone who thrives on high standards, leads with confidence, and keeps calm when audits come knocking—you might want to keep reading.

This role is all about owning technical and quality systems, guiding a team, and making sure customers know they're in safe hands. It's hands-on, people-focused, and packed with opportunities to make a real impact.

You'll be the one who walks into an audit like it's just another Tuesday. Someone who gets why paperwork matters, but also knows it's not just about ticking boxes—it's about keeping standards high and customers happy.

This role? It's hands-on. You'll be the go-to for all things technical—managing audits, leading site-based improvement projects, and making sure your customer's technical team is never left wondering, "Are they on top of this?"

Spoiler: you are.

You'll work with production, technical, and sales—keeping quality, safety, and legality firmly on track. You'll also be leading a team, so if you're not great with people, this probably isn't for you. Motivating, mentoring, nudging things forward—that's all part of your day-to-day.

You'll need to:

Handle retailers like a pro
Lead audits without breaking into a sweat
Get stuck into quality and compliance projects
Be confident making decisions and backing them up
Keep your team moving in the right direction without turning into a micro-managing pain
No, it's not your typical desk-bound gig. It's full-on. It's rewarding. And if you get it right, you'll make a real difference—to the site, the team, and the food that ends up on people's plates.
