Are you an experienced technical leader ready to take ownership of site strategy, develop a strong technical team and build trusted relationships with major retailers?
Castle Employment is recruiting a Site Technical Manager for an established food manufacturer in the Malton area.
This is a senior, influential role where you will be the most senior technical leader on site, reporting directly to the Site Director and forming part of the senior leadership team.
You will lead three managers across Factory Technical, Technical Services and Compliance, taking overall responsibility for food safety, quality, technical standards and retailer relationships.
This is an opportunity to have genuine influence over the technical direction of a busy food manufacturing site.
You will have the scope to shape strategy, strengthen food safety culture and develop your management team, while working closely with Operations, Engineering, Hygiene and NPD to continually improve standards and performance.
The package includes:
£75,000 basic salary
Car allowance
Bupa health insurance
10% discretionary bonus
Monday to Friday working pattern
Flexibility around working hours
As Site Technical Manager, you will:
Lead the site technical strategy and drive a strong food safety and quality culture
Take accountability for food safety, legality, quality, HACCP and the Quality Management System
Maintain BRCGS certification and compliance with relevant retailer codes of practice
Lead relationships with major retailers, including technical meetings, audits and customer visits
Oversee technical investigations and ensure effective corrective and preventative actions
Coach and develop three technical managers, strengthening capability and succession across the function
Work collaboratively with Operations, Engineering, Hygiene and NPD to improve standards and site performance
Provide technical leadership and constructive challenge as part of the senior leadership team
You will bring proven technical leadership experience from within food manufacturing, alongside the confidence to operate at senior leadership level and influence across a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
You will need:
Level 4 HACCP qualification
Level 4 Food Safety qualification
Strong practical knowledge of Listeria controls
Strong practical knowledge of allergen management and controls
Experience working with major UK retailers and their technical requirements
Strong working knowledge of BRCGS and food manufacturing compliance
Proven ability to lead, coach and develop technical managers
Confidence managing retailer relationships, audits and complex technical issues
Experience working with M&S standards and requirements would be particularly valuable, although experience with other major UK retailers will also be considered.
Your leadership style will be just as important as your technical knowledge. You will be resilient, approachable and collaborative, with the ability to set clear expectations, build trust and bring teams together around food safety, quality and continuous improvement.
This is a permanent, site-based position in Malton, North Yorkshire, working Monday to Friday.
There will also be occasional travel to retailer offices and other group locations.
If you are looking for a senior technical leadership opportunity where you can shape strategy, develop people and make a visible impact across a food manufacturing operation, we would like to hear from you.
