Specifications Technologist

10 Days Old

Specification Technologist (Part-Time 3 or 4 Days per Week)
| Flexible Working | London
Lets be honest part-time roles in food manufacturing are few and far between.
And when they do come up, they dont usually offer this level of retailer exposure, autonomy, and flexibility.
If youre an experienced Specifications Technologist looking to step into a role that genuinely fits around your life without compromising on challenge or impact this is one worth your attention.
The opportunity
Youll be joining a growing, well-regarded food business supplying innovative, high-quality prepared products into a premium UK retailer.
Working as part of a small, customer-facing technical team, youll take real ownership of specifications and artwork processes playing a key role in ensuring products are accurate, compliant, and ready for launch.
Reporting into the Senior Technologist, youll be trusted to manage your own workload, hit critical paths, and collaborate across UK and international teams.
What youll be doing
This is a hands-on role where detail really matters. Youll be responsible for:
Creating, managing, and submitting retailer specifications
Generating and approving pack copy in line with customer and legal requirements
Owning the artwork approval process from concept through to sign-off
Maintaining accurate packaging data, including PPT and EPR compliance
Ensuring all submissions meet retailer technical policies and current labelling legislation
Managing critical paths to ensure on-time, right-first-time delivery
Working closely with technical and NPD teams in both the UK and internationally
You wont just be inputting data youll be owning the process.
Why this role stands out
Aside from the obvious (yes its part-time), theres a lot to like here:
A genuinely flexible 3 or 4-day working week
A small, collaborative team where your voice is heard
Direct exposure to a major UK retailer
A business with strong international links and an interesting product range
The chance to work on high-quality, trend-led products in a growing category
Its the kind of role where you can step in, make an impact, and still have balance.
About you
Youll already know your way around specifications and retailer systems, and youll bring:
Experience writing retailer specifications (ideally FIND, Oracle or similar)
A degree in Food Science, Nutrition, or a related discipline
Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach
The ability to manage your own workload and work independently
Confident communication skills, comfortable working across international teams
If youve been waiting for a part-time specifications role that still offers variety, responsibility, and retailer-facing experience this is a rare find.Apply today or get in touch for further details.
