About the Role

Technical Specialist 

West London (Hybrid)

Up to £45,000 + Benefits

Exclusive search via The Advocate Group

The Advocate Group is proud to be exclusively supporting a globally recognised, fast-FMCG brand in the search for a Technical Specialist to join their EMEA Operations team.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious early-career technical professional looking to gain real exposure to international manufacturing, product launches, and cross-functional collaboration within a high-performance FMCG environment.

The Role

This is a hands-on, execution-focused position supporting the implementation of new products into manufacturing sites across Europe.

Working closely with QA, QC, NPD and Supply Chain teams, you’ll play a key role in production trials, ensuring new products are technically qualified, compliant, and ready for full-scale production.

You’ll be regularly on-site at manufacturing partners across EMEA, gaining invaluable exposure to factory environments, troubleshooting, and stakeholder management.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support and execute manufacturing trials across EMEA sites
  • Prepare and maintain trial plans, reports and site-specific documentation
  • Conduct product tasting and quality assessments against standards
  • Work closely with QA and QC to manage compliance and mitigate risk
  • Coordinate reference samples and track product release timelines
  • Build strong working relationships with third-party manufacturers
  • Manage technical tasks within internal systems to ensure project delivery

About You

  • Exposure to manufacturing, food/beverage production, quality, or product development
  • Comfortable working in factory environments and engaging with site teams
  • Organised, proactive and able to manage multiple priorities
  • Strong communicator with a willingness to learn
  • Open to international travel (up to 50%)

This role is ideal for someone who wants development, responsibility and exposure — not just routine lab or office work.
