We invite you to read the advert below for our new Ingredient Technologist - 12 month FTC position to understand the role, and explore our 7 Huel values before applying to ensure we have the right working environment for you!

The role

We have an exciting opportunity for someone to join our Technical team as we continue on our journey as one of the fastest-growing food and drinks brands. We are looking for an Ingredient Technologist (12-Month Fixed-Term Contract) to oversee technical standards for our raw materials, with a focus on functional ingredients such as cocoa and coconut.

This is a pretty unique role where you’ll get stuck into both our manufacturing site and head office, giving you loads of exposure to different products, flavours and ingredients — a great opportunity if you’re early in your career and want to learn fast! Here’s an insight into what you’ll get up to:

• Specification Management: Review and maintain ingredient specifications and supplier accreditation to meet Huel’s safety and quality standards for both current and new ingredients.

• Certification Compliance: Manage ingredient compliance for Halal, Kosher, Vegan Society, non-GMO project, Coeliac, NSF.

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure ingredient and packaging regulatory compliance across the UK, EU, US, and Asia across nominated categories.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with NPD, Procurement, and Planning to improve sourcing and reduce risk. Lead strategic decision making to advocate for ingredient safety and quality across specific ingredient and packaging categories

• Ingredient Quality: Support intake checks and contribute to ingredient quality standards across our network of manufacturers.

• Non-Conformance Resolution: Investigate and resolve supplier non-conformances with corrective and preventative actions to prevent re-occurrence.

• Technical Support: Provide expert guidance on ingredient specifications and technical enquiries for both internal stakeholders and co-manufacturer enquiries.

• Supplier Performance: Track and report supplier KPIs to drive continuous quality improvements. Lead the team on supplier KPI reporting.

• Supplier Auditing: Conduct audits and site visits of supplier manufacturing facilities in line with Huel’s internal raw material audit standards

• System Management: lead effective management of our internal specification system management and development

What we're looking for in you

• This role is a great fit for someone with at least 1–3 years of experience in a quality assurance/food technologist position within the food industry.

• You’ll need to have worked with food safety/quality within the food and drink sector.

• A bonus will be some knowledge and understanding of legislative requirements within the UK/EU/US but this isn’t essential.

• Strong organisational, project management, and delegation skills

• A positive, energetic and can-do attitude and an appetite to get stuck into a variety of projects at once

And as always, we’re on the lookout for new Hueligans who love a fast-paced environment and are always striving to be their best. We want people who aren’t afraid to think differently and push boundaries. If you’re all about setting big goals and believe that amazing things happen through creativity and teamwork, you’ll fit right in at Huel!
