Specification Technologist

Specification Technologist
Hybrid (minimum 2 days on-site)


Let’s cut the fluff.

If you spot errors instantly, hate sloppy work, and don’t need chasing—you’ll fit. If not, this isn’t for you.

This role isn’t complicated—but it is demanding. You’ll own product specifications across major UK retailers and be responsible for getting them right and out on time. No hand-holding. No excuses.


The job

You’ll write and manage specifications, pull together recipes, shelf life, and technical data, and support artwork sign-off. You’ll juggle multiple deadlines and still deliver accurately.


You

Detail-obsessed. Calm under pressure. Able to manage your own workload. You understand food law—or you learn fast.


Experience helps. Mindset matters more.

Hybrid role. Minimum 2 days on-site. The rest is on you.

This isn’t for everyone. But if you’re good—you’ll know.
