Technical Manager

Food Manufacturing

Leicestershire

£50,000 – £55,000

This is a Technical management opportunity within a food manufacturing business that has undergone significant positive change over the past 6 to 12 months.

A newly appointed senior leadership team, combined with investment in systems, people and ways of working, has created a genuine opportunity for an experienced and ambitious QA Manager to take full technical ownership of the site.

As the technical lead, you’ll be responsible for all food safety, quality systems and compliance. Your focus will include BRC readiness, complaint reduction and implementing robust, long-term corrective actions. A key priority will be strengthening day-to-day standards and embedding a strong quality culture on the factory floor.

This is a hands-on role with real scope and pace, ideal for someone looking to accelerate their career within a business that is moving forward.

This is not a box-ticking position. You’ll have genuine ownership, the backing to make meaningful change and exposure across a complex manufacturing operation.

Background

You’ll be an established QA Manager or Technical Manager within food manufacturing, ideally with experience working with major retailers and in high-risk manufacturing environments.
