A growing food manufacturing business is looking for a hands‑on Sausage Production Specialist to take ownership of day‑to‑day production across its core product line. This is a practical, craft‑driven role for someone who genuinely understands sausage manufacturing, from fresh to frozen, natural to artificial casings, and everything in between.
If you're the person who knows how to turn a recipe into a consistent, scalable, commercial process, this role gives you the freedom to apply your expertise and make a visible impact from day one.
About the Role
You'll be responsible for producing sausages, saveloys, and burgers to a high commercial standard, ensuring every batch meets quality, yield, and cost expectations. Working closely with technical and development teams, you'll help translate new product concepts into repeatable, efficient production processes.
This is not a general factory management role it's a specialist position for someone who thrives on the craft, precision, and technical control of sausage production.
Key Responsibilities
Running daily production of sausages, saveloys, and burgers
Scaling up trial recipes into full commercial batches
Adjusting and optimising formulations for consistency, yield, and cost
Setting up and operating machinery such as mincers, mixers, bowl choppers, vacuum fillers, linkers, and burger presses
Managing cooking, chilling, freezing, and packing processes
Troubleshooting issues on the line and reducing waste or downtime
Maintaining accurate batch records and traceability
Working to food safety, hygiene, and BRCGS standards
Coordinating with planning, warehousing, and technical teams to meet production targets
What You'll Bring
Significant hands‑on experience in sausage manufacturing
Strong understanding of meat science, ingredient functionality, and process control
Confidence scaling NPD recipes from bench to volume
Ability to set up, run, and adjust commercial meat‑processing equipment
Solid knowledge of food safety, allergens, hygiene, and documentation in a BRCGS environment
High attention to detail and pride in product quality
Desirable: experience with saveloys, pre-cooked formats, or high‑volume short‑shelf‑life production.
What's on Offer
A specialist role where your craft and expertise genuinely matter
Opportunity to influence product quality and production performance
Supportive environment focused on innovation and continuous improvement
Competitive pay with the potential to move into a permanent role
