Leading the scale-up of new products and processes from development through to full production
Defining key process parameters and proactively identifying risks during production trials
Investigating yield, run-rate, quality, and downtime issues through data analysis and structured problem-solving methodologies
Collaborating closely with Development, Production, Quality, and Engineering teams to understand formulation and equipment constraints
Evaluating whether existing equipment and methods effectively support scaled production demands
Providing technical expertise to drive continuous improvement initiatives
Maintaining a steadfast focus on quality, compliance, and safety when addressing production challenges
Communicating clearly and effectively across teams to ensure alignment on priorities and risks
What you’ll bring:
A degree in Food Science or a related scientific or technical discipline

A practical, hands-on approach with meticulous attention to quality and compliance standards
Desirable:

A background in process scale-up, industrialisation, or optimisation
Demonstrable use of data to enhance yield, improve run-rate, or reduce downtime
