Senior Raw Material Technologist

About the Role

You will work with a range of teams across technical NPD, Process, Quality and Buying teams to keep raw material controls watertight. You’ll manage and maintain up-to-date Insight specifications for all raw materials, ensure supplier approval is rock solid, and risk assess each material to meet food safety, customer and legal requirements.

You’ll liaise directly with suppliers to gather technical data, support site risk assessments, and make sure our raw material records are always audit-ready. Your work will underpin compliance with Quality Management Systems, GMP, HACCP, and customer-specific requirements – with your reports and KPIs giving the site a clear view of performance.

About You

You’re not just ticking boxes – you’re thinking ahead, spotting potential issues, and acting before they impact production. You’ll bring:

• Previous food industry technical experience (ideally in raw materials or supplier assurance)
• HACCP Level 3 or above
• Strong technical skills with Excel and specification systems
• Confident communication with everyone from suppliers to site leadership
• The ability to work both in a team and independently, with a flexible approach to changing priorities

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• The chance to work cross-functionally and influence product quality from day one
• A supportive technical team with a collaborative, improvement-focused culture

Ready to Own the First Step in Quality?

If you’re ready to make your mark at the very start of the food production process – where the raw materials meet the recipe – we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and bring your expertise to one of the most critical stages in the FMCG supply chain.
