Job Description

NPD Process Technologist / Senior Process Technologist
Rare Opportunity - Premium Business

East Yorkshire (On-site)
£35,000 to £45,000 + 10% Bonus + Benefits

Food Manufacturing experience is a must within NPD

The Opportunity

Ballantine Recruitment is exclusively partnered with a design-led British food brand operating at the premium end of the ambient category, a space where true craftsmanship is far harder to achieve and far less common.

This is not high-volume, commoditised production. This is ambient done properly, where shelf life, stability, and scalability are engineered without compromising quality, texture, or brand vision.

Opportunities like this are limited. Most ambient roles prioritise cost and throughput. This one prioritises product integrity first.

The Role

You sit at the critical junction between concept and reality.

Owning process development end to end, you ensure that what starts in the kitchen survives scale-up without dilution. That is the real challenge in ambient and where strong technologists stand out.

You will lead factory trials, optimise processes, and solve the issues that only appear when premium products meet ambient constraints.

  * What You’ll Be Doing

Taking products from concept to scalable, repeatable factory output
Running and owning factory trials, not observing them
Solving stability, consistency, and process challenges in ambient formats
Refining manufacturing methods without eroding product quality
Working cross-functionally while owning outcomes
Driving meaningful continuous improvement

  * About You

Experience in food manufacturing, ambient experience is a strong advantage
Proven background in factory trials and scale-up
Strong process understanding, you know why things fail
Hands-on, not a coordinator
Detail-focused and solutions-driven
You care about product quality, not just hitting specs

  * Why This Role Stands Out

Premium ambient is difficult, which is exactly why this role has value
Real influence, not just execution
Recognisable, high-quality product range
Clear progression as the function grows
A business that prioritises doing things properly

Before You Apply

Bank details.
