Food Technologist / Product Developer
Professional to senior professional: hands-on developer of food and beverage products from brief to factory
Turns a product brief into a recipe that can be made: develops and optimises formulations at bench and pilot scale, runs factory trials under GMP and HACCP, writes the specifications and shelf-life evidence, and hands the product over to the plant. Success is judged on launches delivered on time at target cost, quality and safety, specifications that are right first time, and trial results the business can rely on.
