Are you a technical leader with a passion for quality and a background in highly automated food manufacturing? We're recruiting for an experienced Technical Manager to join a fast-paced, high-volume production environment. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in drinks, dairy, or chilled/frozen foods (such as soups or sauces), looking to lead site-wide technical and compliance standards in a modern, automation-led facility. As Technical Manager, you'll take ownership of quality, food safety, hygiene, and compliance across the site. Reporting to the Group Quality Manager and working as part of the senior site leadership team, you'll lead the site's technical agenda-ensuring it not only meets external and internal standards but drives continuous improvement through process, systems, and culture. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams across operations, engineering, NPD and R&D to troubleshoot issues, embed standards, and enable smooth product launches.

Job Responsibility:

Oversee site technical standards including HACCP, BRC, GMP, and customer-specific requirements
Drive root cause analysis and resolution for quality, microbiology, and food safety issues
Lead audit readiness and manage site response to third-party, customer, and regulatory audits
Work cross-functionally to support process improvements, automation optimisation, and operational efficiency
Manage risk assessments, technical training, and development of team capability
Act as technical lead for new product introductions, site trials, and scale-up projects
Lead the HACCP team and own technical KPI reporting and governance

Requirements:

Proven technical or quality leadership experience in a fast-paced food manufacturing environment
Ideally from a highly automated background-drinks, dairy, soups/sauces or similar
In-depth understanding of BRC, HACCP, GMP, and relevant food legislation
Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence at all levels
Experience of working with cross-functional teams including operations, engineering, and NPD
Ideally degree-qualified in food science, microbiology, or a related discipline

What we offer:

A comprehensive benefits package
A well-invested, modern site with strong backing
A culture that supports ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
