Senior Technical Officer

A strong opportunity for someone already working within food Technical or Quality who wants more ownership, broader exposure and a genuine step towards Technical Management.

Working closely with the Technical Manager, you’ll take responsibility for key technical workstreams and act as their deputy when required.

The role

Your key areas will include:

• Supplier assurance, approval and auditing
• Food Safety & Quality Management Systems
• BRCGS, HACCP and customer compliance
• Raw material and packaging risk assessments
• Customer complaints, investigations and root cause analysis
• Non-conformances and corrective actions
• Audit readiness and continuous improvement
• Providing technical leadership when required

What we're looking for

• You’ll have good experience within a food manufacturing Technical or Quality environment, with strong knowledge of food safety systems and auditing.
• Supplier auditing or supplier assurance experience would be particularly valuable.
• For someone looking to progress towards Technical Manager, this offers the opportunity to broaden your experience and take on genuine responsibility rather than simply adding “Senior” to your current role.
