Technical Manager | Location: Norwich | Salary: circa £38,000 - £42,000
An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced Technical Manager to join a dynamic and growing food supplement manufacturing business in the East of England.
This is a hands-on, varied role where you’ll play a crucial part in ensuring product safety, regulatory compliance, and technical excellence, while supporting New Product Development and continuous improvement initiatives across the business.
The Role:
As Technical Manager, you’ll take ownership of all technical aspects of the product lifecycle — from formulation and product development to manufacturing support, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. You’ll work closely with teams across Production, Purchasing, Sales, and R&D to ensure products meet the highest industry standards.
This is an on-site position based off the ring road in Norwich, with occasional flexibility for remote working as the role progresses.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Oversee technical operations, product development projects, and quality assurance processes.
  • Manage product specifications, technical documentation, and regulatory submissions.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and support continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Lead internal audits and facilitate third-party inspections.
  • Maintain and improve Quality Management Systems (GMP, HACCP, ISO 22000).
  • Collaborate with external labs, suppliers, and customers on technical matters.
  • Stay updated on relevant legislation and industry trends.
About You:
  • Minimum 5 years’ technical experience within the food supplement, pharma or nutraceutical, or food manufacturing industry.
  • A technical or quality based background
  • Strong knowledge of analytical testing and manufacturing processes.
  • Familiarity with EU food law, GMP principles, and relevant regulatory frameworks.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.
  • Meticulous attention to detail with a proactive, solution-focused approach.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.Coast
What’s on Offer:
  • Competitive salary of circa £38,000 - £42,000 (depending on experience).
  • An opportunity to shape and develop the quality and technical function within a growing business.
  • Varied, interesting projects and a collaborative, supportive working culture.
  • The chance to work at the heart of a business where your expertise will be highly valued.
If you’re a technically minded, experienced professional looking for a varied and rewarding role within a growing supplement manufacturing environment — we’d love to hear from you.
