As a Process Technician, you'll be at the centre of the manufacturing operation, ensuring every batch of juice, smoothie and beverage is produced safely, accurately and to the highest quality standards.

No two shifts are the same – as a Process Technician, you'll be weighing and mixing ingredients, preparing recipes, carrying out quality checks and making sure production has everything it needs to keep running smoothly whilst working to detailed instructions. You'll also be involved in handling raw materials, moving ingredients into position and ensuring your work area remains clean, organised and safe throughout your shift.

You'll manage your own production area, monitor stock levels, plan ahead to avoid downtime and work closely with colleagues to keep production moving efficiently. If you're someone who enjoys a hands-on role, thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes satisfaction in seeing the finished product roll off the production line, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
