- Collaborating closely with Development, Production, Quality, and Engineering teams to understand formulation and equipment constraints
- Evaluating whether existing equipment and methods effectively support scaled production demands
- Providing technical expertise to drive continuous improvement initiatives
- Maintaining a steadfast focus on quality, compliance, and safety when addressing production challenges
- Communicating clearly and effectively across teams to ensure alignment on priorities and risks
What you’ll bring:
- A degree in Food Science or a related scientific or technical discipline
