This role is ideally suited to a recent graduate or someone in the early stages of their career within food, looking to build strong foundations in technical and product development. A degree in Food Science, Food Technology, Nutrition or a related discipline is preferred, along with an understanding of food safety principles such as HACCP.

A genuine passion for food and an interest in product quality and customer care will underpin success in the role.
