About the Role

We are seeking a proactive and experienced Hygiene Manager to join our team at our soups and sauces manufacturing site. This is a key leadership role responsible for maintaining the highest hygiene and food safety standards across a 24-hour operation.

The position is primarily day-based; however, there will be an expectation to support night operations when required. Given the nature of the site, approximately 80% of hygiene activity oversight will relate to night shift operations.

• Ensure full understanding and application of high-risk and high-care standards
• Manage and optimise CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems, ensuring effective automated cleaning processes
• Take ownership of PPE management, including availability, compliance, and maintenance
• Manage pest control contracts, including routine visits, reporting, and corrective actions
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives relating to hygiene and food safety

• Proven experience in a hygiene management role within food manufacturing
• Experience working in soups, sauces, or liquid-based production environments is highly desirable
• Strong understanding of high-risk and high-care food production environments
• Hands-on experience with CIP systems and automated cleaning processes
• Ability to develop and manage hygiene systems independently
• Strong analytical skills with experience in investigations and root cause analysis
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to liaise effectively with internal teams and external partners
• Flexible and adaptable, with willingness to support night operations when required
