Senior Technical Manager – Food to Go
Location: Munster | Senior Leadership Team | Excellent Package
A large, well-invested food manufacturer in Munster is seeking a Senior Technical Manager to lead and elevate the technical and quality agenda across the site.
This is a key leadership appointment. You will sit on the senior management team and play a central role in shaping standards, culture and customer confidence at plant level.
The Role
This position is about more than compliance. My client needs someone who:
- Drives a strong, visible quality-first culture across the entire site
- Leads both Technical and NPD functions
- Acts as the senior point of contact for customers
- Represents the business at customer audits, forums and key events
- Ensures the customer agenda is clearly understood — from the factory floor right through to site leadership and owners
- Translates technical excellence into commercial credibility
The current Technical Manager will remain on in a consultancy capacity to support a smooth transition, providing strong continuity and handover support.
The Person
You will be a confident senior technical leader who:
- Has significant experience in food manufacturing (ideally food to go / high care)
- Is comfortable engaging directly with major retail customers
- Understands how to embed and sustain a quality-driven culture
- Can influence at all levels — from operators to senior stakeholders
- Brings a balanced approach across compliance, standards, and innovation
The Package
This is a senior opportunity with a package to reflect that:
- Generous base salary
- Performance-based bonus structure
- Pension
- Health insurance
- Potential relocation support
- Opportunity to join the Senior Management Team and shape the future direction of the site
This is a visible, strategic role for someone who wants to leave a mark — not just manage paperwork.
