The Role:

As a Raw Materials Technologist, you’ll be at the heart of ensuring every ingredient and piece of packaging meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and compliance. This role is all about making sure what goes into our products is as exceptional as what comes out. You’ll work closely with suppliers and internal teams to keep everything running smoothly, supporting the production of products our customers love. It’s a hands-on, detail-driven role where your work directly impacts the quality and integrity of what we deliver. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about raw materials and food safety, and who brings energy, enthusiasm, and a proactive mindset to the team. If that sounds like you, this is your chance to make a real impact.

Key Responsibilities:

Inbound Raw Material Inspection

  • Perform quality checks on incoming raw materials against approved specifications and standards.

  • Ensure all inbound materials meet regulatory, safety, and company quality requirements.

  • Maintain accurate records of inspections, test results, and non-conformance reports.

Non-Conformance Management

  • Identify and report deviations or defects in raw materials.

  • Initiate corrective actions and communicate with procurement or suppliers as needed.

Supplier Communication

  • Liaise with suppliers regarding quality issues and documentation discrepancies.

  • Support resolution of quality concerns promptly to avoid production delays.

Inventory & Traceability

  • Ensure proper labelling and traceability of raw materials from receipt to storage.

  • Monitor quarantine and release status of materials.

Continuous Improvement

  • Participate in root cause analysis for recurring quality issues.

  • Recommend process improvements to enhance inbound material quality control

  • Contribute to the Brighter Future Sustainability Strategy and company's linked OKRs. Support your function and any direct report(s) to contribute too.

Essential Requirements:

  • Enthusiastic & Positive – Brings energy and a “can-do” attitude to the role.

  • Fun & Collaborative – Enjoys working in a team environment and contributes to a positive workplace culture.

  • Proactive & Solution-Oriented – Takes initiative, anticipates challenges, and acts before problems arise.

  • Willing to Learn & Develop – Open to growth, training, and expanding technical knowledge.

  • Detail-Oriented & Organised – Ensures accuracy in compliance and documentation.

  • Strong Communicator – Able to clearly convey technical information to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Some of the benefits of working here include:
