Senior Technologist – Dairy

This company is more than just an ingredients supplier. It’s a trusted partner to its customers, which range from innovative start-up manufacturers right through to internationally recognised brands in the food world. Customers rely on the business to solve the most complex of technical challenges for them – we’re talking about perplexing issues with which customers’ own NPD teams require specialist help, turning to their supplier who understands ingredient interactions better than any other.

There is now an opening for a Senior Dairy Technologist to join the long-standing team. Working on traditional dairy solutions, as well as the increasing range of dairy alternatives, you’ll be challenged to find technical solutions on applications ranging from plant-based cheese through to sweet desserts. In a fast-paced environment where the pipeline of projects rarely slows down, you’ll be tasked with running pilot plant trials for customers across the UK. Things might get pretty hectic sometimes, but two days will never be the same here, so if you thrive off finding solutions to the most complex of puzzles, there will be no better place for you to be in the whole of the food industry! Similarly, you’ll be working with a team recognised as being the most knowledgeable in this field, so in terms of a place to learn and develop if you want to take your expertise to the next level, there is simply nowhere superior.

We’re looking for someone who has a degree in Food Science or similar, who has subsequently gained at least 4 years’ experience as a Technologist. It is imperative that your experience has been gained in the Dairy sector, either working at a product manufacturer or at an ingredients supplier to the Dairy industry. You’ll be able to demonstrate a desire to constantly learn and show how you’ve already gone above and beyond to further your knowledge of your chosen career path. You’ll have experienced pilot plant trials and naturally, you’ll be a team player who’ll go the extra mile whenever needed.

Openings are rare here – people join and due to how unique this business is and what you can do here, they tend not to leave! So if you’re on the fence, don’t wait – there’s unlikely to be another chance for a long time…
