Job Description

Group Technical Services Manager (12-Month Fixed Term Contract)

Food Manufacturing

Cheshire

£60,000

If you like fixing problems on one site, this probably isn’t for you.

If you like fixing the reason the same problem exists on multiple sites… it might be.

This is a group technical role sitting across multiple UK food manufacturing sites, and the brief is simple: bring order to how technical performance is measured, reported and controlled across the business.

Because at the moment, like a lot of multi-site food businesses, consistency is more “aspiration” than “system”.

What you’ll actually be doing

You’ll sit above the site technical teams, owning the systems and structure that connect everything together.

That means:

Group technical reporting (weekly and monthly board packs that actually mean something)
Building and maintaining KPI systems across complaints, audits, micro and compliance
Standardising technical processes across all sites (so “group standard” actually means something)
Driving the shift towards paperless / digital quality and technical systems
Supporting group technical standards and governance frameworks
Keeping the business audit-ready across BRCGS, retailer and customer requirements

It’s less about reacting to what’s happened.

More about making sure the business can actually see what’s happening.

Who this suits

This tends to appeal to people who’ve been around food manufacturing long enough to spot the pattern:

Same issue. Different site. Slightly different spreadsheet. Slightly different answer.

So you’re likely to come from:

Group Technical / Technical Services roles
Technical Systems or Compliance leadership roles
Senior Site Technical Managers with multi-site exposure
Group Audit or Quality Systems roles
Customer Technical Managers who’ve drifted into systems and governance

You’ll need the usual technical grounding (BRCGS, HACCP, GMP, retailer standards), but the real requirement here is comfort with structure, data, and cross-site influence.

The reality

This role exists because running multiple sites without proper alignment eventually stops being sustainable.

This is the job that tries to fix that
