Life Health Foods is dedicated to providing people with healthy, delicious plant-based food. Their passion is woven into everything they do, from their commitment to great taste, to using non-GM ingredients, to sourcing locally wherever possible. With brands such as Bean Supreme, Naked Cuisine, Vegie Delights, Lisa’s and Kato, all produced from their modern Avondale factory, this is indeed a rare opportunity for a technically savvy Technologist with creative flair / or a commercial Chef with industrial production experience.

- Undertake end-to-end development and optimisation of products and processes, both new or existing.

- Provide culinary and technical support for Food Service Marketing and Sales. This will involve assisting with on-site catering for important events from time to time so you need to be a good cook.

**Skills and experience**

You have a well-rounded toolbox of skills and experience. The essentials are:

- **Education**: Tertiary qualification in Food Technology or a related field / or 5-10 years culinary experience as a qualified Chef across a range of hospitality competencies.
- **Experience**: you’ll have a minimum of 3 years’ food development experience from within a manufacturing environment.
- **Practical & Hands on**: This is not a desk job. You’re happy getting your hands dirty, relish getting stuck in in the kitchen developing recipes, and love the time spent in the factory leading trials or improvement initiatives.
- **Other key attributes**: creative flair, courage to challenge the norm, able to work at pace and under pressure, initiative, highly organised, attention to detail, great communicator, and are a team player.
