Food Development Technologists, based near Edinburgh: two great opportunities exist - one for an experienced and one for a graduate - level Food Product Development Technologist.

The NPD team at this chilled food manufacturing company is looking to boost its numbers to help meet an increase in demand for its products - great news given the recent economic climate! Whilst different levels of experience are sought, both roles require highly motivated individuals who have the presence of mind to efficiently juggle a variety of projects, prioritising on a daily and sometimes hourly! - basis. The team wants Technologists who are creative, not just in a foodie sense, although this is very important, but also in initiating solutions to workday problems that may arise.

Ongoing Training and Development is provided to all staff to ensure employees optimise their full potential in the business and you will also be given the chance to work on one of the Group's major retailer customers. This will require you to have good communications and self-presentation skills.

Whilst this is a busy department it offers a great environment to consolidate and develop yourself, whilst bringing to market some really tasty and innovative products! Food science/HE/culinary qualification or equivalent experience is sought along with driving licence and travel flexibility.
