Immediate Start.
Following a run of successful technical recruitment campaigns within the food manufacturing, Protea Recruitment is working with a new client in Greater Glasgow to recruit a Technical Lead. This boutique Food manufacture is looking for a hands-on Technical Lead who will have full site responsibility for the site’s technical function, covering food safety, audit readiness and customer specifications, as well as supporting new product launches.
It would suit a Technical Assistant / Ass Tech Manager, someone who has hands on exposure, who enjoys being close to production.
What you’ll do
- Run and improve the site’s Quality Management System, lead internal audits and GMP inspections, and coordinate BRCGS compliance.
- Investigate customer complaints and non-conformances, agree corrective actions and follow them through.
- Manage customer and retailer specifications, artwork approvals and technical documentation.
- Support HACCP reviews, allergen controls, supplier approvals and raw material risk assessments.
- Work with Production and NPD on product trials, specifications for new products and improvements to existing ranges.
What you’ll bring
You’ll need experience in a technical department within food manufacturing and a relevant qualification in food science or a related discipline. You’ll have a practical understanding of HACCP, allergen management and quality systems, along with experience working with UK retailer standards and specifications. Experience on a BRCGS-certified site would be an advantage.
You’ll be comfortable working with colleagues on the factory floor and discussing technical decisions with senior management.
You’ll have the scope to improve how the site manages quality day to day and stay involved as new products move from trial into production.
