Job Description & How to Apply Below
Are you a hands-on food technologist with a passion for flavour? We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established manufacturer of food flavourings and seasonings, seeking a technically strong Product Development professional to join their team.
This is a formulation-focused role — not QA or QC. Only candidates with direct product development experience in flavour or seasoning environments will be considered.
Requirements- Diploma or Degree in Food Technology, Food Science, or a related discipline
- 2–5 years' hands-on experience in flavour or seasoning product development (non-negotiable)
- Proven ability to build and troubleshoot flavour profiles independently
- Background in a flavour house, seasoning manufacturer, or similar production environment
- Strong sensory and olfactory skills
- Solid working knowledge of food and flavour regulatory requirements
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word
- Good communication skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Develop new flavour and seasoning systems from scratch, based on customer briefs and market trends
- Reformulate and improve existing products to enhance performance or meet new requirements
- Create and adapt application formulations for both sweet and savoury categories
- Prepare lab-scale samples and support scale-up to production
- Participate in sensory evaluations and lead internal tasting panels
- Source, assess, and approve new raw materials and ingredients
- Produce and maintain product specs, formulation records, and processing documentation
- Work closely with the sales team and clients to translate briefs into viable technical solutions
- Ensure all formulations meet relevant food safety and regulatory standards
Please note: If you have not received a response within two weeks of applying, kindly consider your application unsuccessful. Only applicants with direct flavour development experience will be contacted.
