- In the Materials Science team, you will apply your knowledge of physics and chemistry to help develop technologies to improve the sustainability and nutritional profile of our products, in line with our well-being strategy.
- In both teams you will produce technical reports/presentations and periodically communicate your key findings to stakeholders. You will also have the opportunity to interact with the wider R&D Community, other business functions and external suppliers. In addition to this you may also be expected to support other ongoing project activities in and outside of your immediate team. For some roles, occasional travel within the UK, or international, may be required.
