About the Opportunity
Are you a technical or QA professional looking to join one of the fastest-growing and most exciting categories in fresh produce? We are partnering with a leading UK fresh produce business, operating from a newly invested, state-of-the-art facility—to source an Ethical Technologist to join their expert technical team.
Reporting directly to the Technical Manager, this role acts as the vital link between international grower partners and major retail, foodservice, and wholesale customers. With a key focus on ethical compliance and grower due diligence, you will manage critical supply chain data, support R&D initiatives, and help drive sustainable, value-adding innovation across a high-demand product category.
Whether you are an experienced Technologist/QA looking for your next challenge, or a fresh produce professional with strong analytical skills ready to step into a technical path, tailor‑made training and development will be provided to help you succeed.
Key Responsibilities

- Collate, accurately analyse, and present complex technical data (primarily using MS Excel) to enable internal teams to clearly communicate key insights to customers.
- Gain hands‑on exposure to post-harvest controls, advanced ripening processes, and full end‑to‑end supply chain technical standards.
- Support category leadership through R&D projects, including variety development, sustainable packaging solutions, and key technical points of difference.
- Act as an effective point of contact between global grower partners, internal teams, and external commercial customers.
