Technician Assistant (Food Manufacturing) (COS591)

The National Centre for Food Manufacturing is a leading teaching and research centre for the food manufacturing industry. We require a Technician Assistant to support the safe and effective operation of our food factory training and research centre. The role would suit an individual with experience of the food industry and an interest in health and safety coordination but this is not essential.

A satellite campus of the University of Lincoln, The National Centre for Food Manufacturing is a major resource for the UK’s food industry with over 250 major companies accessing courses, technical services and research.  Our clients include the major national and global food manufacturing businesses and leading supermarkets and we collaborate with many international partners and universities. The NCFM has outstanding sector-focused facilities, including a state-of-the-art food factory demonstrating cutting edge food automation. All of NCFM’s students are employed in the food industry and study on a part-time basis at the campus, the majority are adults. 

The role is varied and the post holder will also help maintain equipment and resources and assist staff and students using the facilities for teaching and trials. Assisting with Health and Safety compliance is an element of the role.

The NCFM partners with a wide range of suppliers of equipment and technologies to the sector and the post holder will foster good working relationships with our industrial partners. 

Ideally the post holder will have knowledge of food factory operations but this is not essential.

The University offers excellent career development with the potential for the right candidate to undertake a Higher or Higher Degree Apprenticeship or further training and study. 

This position does not fulfil the UK Visas & Immigration sponsorship criteria for Tier 2.
