If so, my client is looking to recruit a Technical Manager to join their Chilled Food Manufacturing business based on the Devon / Somerset border.

Reporting into the Head of Technical, you will be responsible for the technical, quality and hygiene functions within this business ensuring that the factory is meeting or exceeding standards of product safety, quality and legality in a fast paced environment. Working on a site that only supplies Sainsburys, these products are short shelf life products, with a huge amount of raw materials so dealing with multi-component products is essential.

- Setting KPIs across the business and reporting back where necessary, whilst being fully responsible for factory visits and audits.
- Key HACCP team member and drive compliance.

- Internal auditing for hygiene and operational procedural standards as well as playing an integral part on customer site visits.
- Previous experience of managing and inspiring a team is essential.

The perfect candidate for the role of Technical Manager:
- Ideally educated to degree level, if not, equivalent experience in a food related discipline.
- Experience of working in a food manufacturing business, ideally fast paced chilled food with multiple raw materials.
- You must have dealt with the major retailers, ideally JS, Waitrose or M&S.
- Advanced HACCP
- L4 Food Safety
- Lead Auditor

Salary: £competitive plus benefits. Relocation package will also be considered for the perfect candidate!

Whilst this is a Monday to Friday job, as with all technical roles, there needs to be some flexibility to allow for the nature of the business and the demands of the customers as well as suppliers.
