Why Greencore?

Following the combination with Bakkavor in January 2026, we’re one of the UK’s leading creators of convenience food, driven by a simple purpose: to make every day taste better.

As a vibrant and fast-moving business, we’re proud to employ over 28,000 talented colleagues across 36 manufacturing sites and 21 distribution depots in the UK and the US. Together, we bring delicious food to life. Our products cover every meal occasion from breakfast through to dinner and dessert, with lunch and snacking in between. In FY25, our shared passion helped us achieve combined revenues of approximately £4bn.

Our extensive direct to store (DTS) network, with 17 depots across the UK, allows us to deliver fresh and frozen food both our own and from trusted partners to thousands of stores every day, ensuring consumers enjoy the very best, whenever and wherever they shop.

Identify opportunities to automate, digitalise or strengthen hygiene and food safety controls
Ensure innovation aligns to regulatory, retailer and legislative requirements
Provide regular updates on innovation status, trial progress and technology pipelines

What we’re looking for

Understanding of food safety science, hygiene processes, equipment and risk controls
Curious, innovation‑focused mindset with the ability to spot future opportunities
Skilled in data analysis, trial design and evaluation of technical solutions
Ability to translate scientific and technical findings into clear business recommendations
Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
Comfortable working across sites and leading on‑line practical trials
Experience with automation, digital tools or new manufacturing technologies (desirable)
Research experience or working with academic partnerships (desirable)
Project management or CI methodology experience (desirable)
Degree in Food Science, Engineering, Microbiology or related technical field (desirable)

At Greencore we put our people at the core. We celebrate their differences and help everyone to be themselves at work. Together we make every day taste better.

If this sounds like you, join us and grow with Greencore, and be a part of driving our future success.

What you’ll get in return

Competitive salary and job-related benefits
