Job Description

Excellent opportunity for a food specialist who knows the world of pasta!

Our client has an excellent reputation in the world of chilled, multi-component ready meals and is currently producing leading edge, award-winning product ranges for the major UK retailers. This is a rare opportunity to work in conjunction with the development chefs and technical team on their premium range pasta products.

This is not a straight forward development or process role. You will be the ‘glue’ that makes it happen. Understanding food innovation you will work closely with the development chefs talking through concepts and new ideas. Your knowledge of pasta, ideally from a cereal based degree or extensive work experience in this area, will enable you to take those ideas forwards. That said, this is not process development. It is all about understanding the complexities of pasta and how it works with ingredients and the challenges faced in production.

First class communication is key to this role as you will need to work cross functionally and deal with external suppliers.

If you don’t know pasta and how it behaves then this is not the role for you. If you do and you want to work in a business that has seen fantastic growth in the last 18 months and are in the process of expanding their ranges and investing capital in their factory to meet those demands, than this could be a perfect opportunity.
