Full job description

Technical Assistant – 12-month FTC
Braintree, Essex
£29,000
12-month fixed-term contract
Fully site-based

A great next step for someone with Technical or QA experience in Food Manufacturing, with plenty of variety and the chance to get properly involved rather than being parked behind a spreadsheet.

We’re recruiting a Technical Assistant for a long-established food manufacturing business near Braintree in Essex. Working in a small, hands-on Technical team, you’ll help keep products safe, compliant and customer-ready across specifications, supplier approval, complaints, audits and factory checks.
What you’ll be doing

  • Managing technical queries, complaints, non-conformances and customer portals.
  • Maintaining supplier approval records, specifications and shelf-life documentation.
  • Sending Certificates of Analysis and arranging microbiological testing with external laboratories.
  • Supporting internal and hygiene audits, environmental swabbing, traceability and mass balance exercises.
  • Checking contract packing and production records, plus supporting wider Technical and QC queries.
What we need

  • Some experience in Technical, Quality or QA within food manufacturing or food ingredients.
  • A working understanding of food safety standards and BRCGS requirements.
  • Strong attention to detail, organisation and communication skills.
  • Confidence using Microsoft Office and online customer / supplier systems.
  • A practical, calm approach and willingness to work across office, production and warehouse areas.
  • Internal auditor training and HACCP / CCP knowledge would be useful, but are not essential.
What’s in it for you
£29,000 on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with broad exposure across food safety, supplier assurance, specifications, complaints, audits and customer technical. It’s a strong opportunity to build depth in a generalist food technical role within an established ingredients business.

Applicants will need existing UK right to work covering the full 12-month contract. This could therefore suit someone already holding a visa valid for the full contract period.
