Type: Full-Time, Permanent
£26k - £28k
You like to make things work. Smoothly. Efficiently. On time.
Whether it’s blending a new sample, keeping the lab stocked, or figuring out how to get a tricky dispatch out the door – you’re someone who solves problems before they become issues.
This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in a busy, collaborative R&D environment. You’ll be part of the team that brings food innovation to life – supporting product development by preparing, packing, and dispatching samples for customers and internal testing.
It’s not just about following a method – it’s about making sure everything behind the scenes runs like clockwork.
What you’ll be doing:
Making it happen – creating samples, accurately and consistently
Packing and dispatching – getting samples to customers quickly and safely via courier systems
Stock management – ordering ingredients, rotating stock, and keeping the lab fully supplied
Supporting the team – helping Development Technologists and Chefs with trials and presentations
Maintaining hygiene – cleaning equipment and keeping the lab spotless and safe
Problem-solving – spotting issues early and keeping everything running smoothly
What you’ll bring:
A detail-focused, methodical approach
A calm head and steady pace under pressure
Confidence using basic computer systems (for ordering and dispatch)
Good communication skills – you’ll be working with teams across the business
A genuine interest in food, flavour, and how products come to life
The flexibility to support in other areas when needed
What’s in it for you?
This is a great opportunity to get involved in the product development process within a friendly, fast-moving food manufacturing business.
If you take pride in getting the details right and want to be part of a team that values reliability as much as creativity – we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now, or get in touch to find out more.
