Job Description

If you enjoy seeing products go from idea trial shelf, this one s worth a look.

I m working with a large, well-established manufacturer looking to strengthen their site-based NPD Process team. This is a hands-on role, suited to someone who enjoys being on the factory floor, running trials, and getting involved in real scale-up - not just paperwork.

What you ll be doing:
  • Running factory trials and recording outputs

  • Scaling new products across multiple UK sites

  • Working closely with Operations, Technical, and NPD

  • Supporting launches for major UK retail customers

  • Owning projects from concept through to handover

What they re looking for:
  • 2+ years experience in food manufacturing

  • Food science or related qualification ideal

  • Confident communicator who enjoys cross-functional working

Why consider it?
  • Strong exposure to end-to-end NPD

  • Multi-site experience

  • Stable, growing food manufacturer

  • Clear development opportunity

If you re happy where you are but open to a proper NPD role, it s worth a conversation.
