Technical Manager

Welcome to the world of Tangerine – the UK’s largest independent Sugar Confectionery business. Our dynamic portfolio includes many iconic products such as Barratt Sherbet Fountain and Fruit Salad Chews, as well as a host of well known brands including Princess Marshmallows and Butterkist Popcorn. We are also the major supplier of Retailer Brand Confectionery in the UK.

Reporting to the Group Technical Manager, you’ll have direct responsibility for managing the resources of the site’s technical function, ensuring that product, premises and procedures satisfy all legal and regulatory requirements, including branded, own label and export customer specifications and codes of practice. It’s a broad based role, where your brief will extend across the entire technical system – leading on HACCP, undertaking audits, overseeing pest control and hygiene activities, as well as managing quality systems and maintaining clearance processes for ingredients/packaging materials.

As an experienced technical manager, from a food or similar processing background, you’re likely to be HND/Degree qualified in a quality, science or related engineering discipline and must have a good, practical knowledge of BRC standards and quality management systems. With retailer experience, we also expect strong team leadership and motivational skills, plus a solid understanding of due diligence and a proven ability to manage/conduct audits on an internal and external basis.
