You will lead and support the Site Technical Team, championing a strong food safety and quality culture and taking ownership of site governance, HACCP and TACCP processes, improvement plans and technical audits. You will ensure the site remains compliant, well controlled and audit-ready, while maintaining momentum on key priorities.

Working closely with the Central Technical Team and operational colleagues, you will use audit findings, investigations and customer complaint trends to strengthen controls, solve problems and drive improvement.
