Are you a talented Food Scientist with experience in liquids such as beverages, flavours, alcohol, flavour processing or fragrances….?
I am currently recruiting for a Flavour Technologist to join a global leader in nutritional ingredients at their innovation site in Kent. This is a fantastic opportunity for a creative, "hands-on" technologist to take ownership of flavour development for some of the biggest names in the fitness and wellness industry.
PLEASE NOTE- This company doesn't sponsor, so unfortunately I can't submit candidates on a Post Study Work visa.
The Role
Working within a high-spec laboratory, you will focus on the end-to-end development of ready-to-mix (RTM) supplements. You will be tasked with the challenge of turning functional active ingredients, like protein and amino acids, into delicious, market-ready beverages.
Key Responsibilities
* Formulation: Create and refine flavour profiles for protein powders, pre-workouts, and functional drinks using an extensive ingredient library.
* Technical Problem Solving: Analyse active ingredient interactions and find creative solutions to mask off-notes and optimise taste.
* Project Management: Manage customer submissions, incorporate feedback, and ensure prototypes are delivered within tight commercial timelines.
* Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a technical point of contact for flavour suppliers and customers, attending meetings and trade shows where required.
* Compliance & Quality: Ensure all formulations meet regulatory standards for their specific target markets and support first-production runs at manufacturing sites.
Your Skills & Experience
* Hold a BSc in Food Science, Food Chemistry, or a related technical field.
* 1–2 years of experience in beverage development (ideally within RTM or functional drinks).
* Confident in unit conversions and complex formulation work.
* Possesses a refined palate and a genuine passion for food and drink trends.
