Job Description

Raw Materials Technologist, Yorkshire

A well-established food manufacturer is looking for a Raw Materials Manager to take ownership of incoming supply on a busy production site.

This is a hands-on role, but it's as much about people as it is about product. You'll be the key link between suppliers, planning, and procurement — and the business puts real investment behind its people, with training, development, and a culture where staff are genuinely supported.

What you'll do:

  * Work closely with suppliers to ensure raw materials consistently arrive within spec

  * Manage rejections and refunds quickly and fairly when product falls short — for example, foreign body issues like blue plastic

  * Build strong, lasting supplier relationships so they value dealing with the site

  * Stay organised and responsive, so issues are flagged and resolved fast

  * Keep the planning and procurement teams informed so the whole site runs smoothly

What you'll bring:

  * Experience in raw materials, stock, or supply within food manufacturing (meat a plus)

  * A genuine people-first approach — with suppliers and colleagues alike

  * Strong organisation and a calm head when problems land

  * Good commercial awareness around cost, quality, and availability

Why apply:

You'll join a site that values relationships as much as results, backed by a business that invests in its people and gives you room to grow. £37,500, a supportive team, and a role where what you do genuinely matters
