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.
