Group Technical Services Manager (12-Month Fixed Term Contract)Food ManufacturingCheshire£60,000If you like fixing problems on one site, this probably isn't for you.If you like fixing the reason the same problem exists on multiple sites… it might be.This is a group technical role sitting across multiple UK food manufacturing sites, and the brief is simple: bring order to how technical performance is measured, reported and controlled across the business.Because at the moment, like a lot of multi-site food businesses, consistency is more “aspiration” than “system”.What you'll actually be doingYou'll sit above the site technical teams, owning the systems and structure that connect everything together.That means:Group technical reporting (weekly and monthly board packs that actually mean something)Building and maintaining KPI systems across complaints, audits, micro and complianceStandardising technical processes across all sites (so “group standard” actually means something)Driving the shift towards paperless / digital quality and technical systemsSupporting group technical standards and governance frameworksKeeping the business audit-ready across BRCGS, retailer and customer requirementsIt's less about reacting to what's happened.More about making sure the business can actually see what's happening.Who this suitsThis tends to appeal to people who've been around food manufacturing long enough to spot the pattern:Same issue. Different site. Slightly different spreadsheet. Slightly different answer.So you're likely to come from:Group Technical / Technical Services rolesTechnical Systems or Compliance leadership rolesSenior Site Technical Managers with multi-site exposureGroup Audit or Quality Systems rolesCustomer Technical Managers who've drifted into systems and governanceYou'll need the usual technical grounding (BRCGS, HACCP, GMP, retailer standards), but the real requirement here is comfort with structure, data, and cross-site influence.The realityThis role exists because running multiple sites without proper alignment eventually stops being sustainable.This is the job that tries to fix that.TPBN1_UKTJ

Orders & growth • Oversee B2B, wholesale and corporate gifting orders — fulfilled accurately and on time., • Stand up the operational backbone for e-commerce and a second site as we grow., • Help build scalable processes that allow Makers to grow beyond one shop without losing control of cost, quality or stock. What you'll bring • 4+ years in purchasing or inventory management — restaurant, hotel, members' club, food production or luxury retail., • Proven track record managing food cost and gross margin, measurably improved through buying and process., • Built systems, controls and SOPs from scratch in a fast-moving environment., • Confident supplier negotiation across ingredients and packaging., • Inventory / EPOS / ERP systems (MarketMan a strong plus) and strong Excel / Google Sheets., • Food safety knowledge (HACCP) strongly preferred.
