Auckland City, New Zealand Yvette Harrison Full time

Entry-level role for Food Technologist graduate
- Creative, fast paced, hands-on NPD role
- Complex production environment so plenty to learn

**About the company**

This business is a New Zealand success story that produces branded product for both the local and export market. With the company expanding the product range beyond its traditional category and target market this is a great opportunity for a hands-on graduate to gain experience from the ground up.

**About the role**

This company is dynamic and fast paced. It has a complex production operation so expect to be busy and learn a lot. You’ll join a small team of Technologists tasked with meeting the increasing demand of this company’s discerning customer and consumer base. In the early days you will be immersed in the operation to gain a full understanding of the production processes. As I said, this is a hands-on role so if you’re looking for a role where you’ll spend the bulk of your time in the test kitchen or office this isn’t the role for you. Once au fait with the operation, you’ll be given considerable scope to make your mark. Your role will include:

- Recipe creation, sample preparation and sensory evaluation
- Cost optimisation including new raw material substitution and trialling
- Preparation of nutritional panel and other packaging information
- Production trials
- Assisting with quality improvement initiatives
- And much much more.

**Skills and experience**

A qualified Food Technology graduate (BTech Food Technology or BSc Food Science), you bring strong communication skills and a proactive, innovative approach. You are hands-on, can-do, upbeat and team orientated.
