  • Permanent full-time role based onsite in Bathurst, NSW

At Mars Petcare, we make more than just pet food — we create products that help pets live healthier, happier lives.

Home to beloved brands like PEDIGREE, WHISKAS, and DINE, we're looking for a Process Development Technologist to join our passionate R&D team and help shape the future of pet nutrition innovation.

About the Role

You'll play a key role in developing and improving process solutions for the Mars Pet Nutrition Australia & New Zealand business.

Reporting to the R&D Program Manager, you'll lead process troubleshooting, problem-solving, and capability development for our Dry and Care & Treat (C&T) categories — ensuring every product we make meets the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and food safety.

You'll partner closely with our R&D and Supply teams to deliver projects, optimise processes, and support new technology introductions — turning ideas into reality for pets across the region.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Collaborate with R&D and Supply teams to validate new and improved manufacturing processes.
  • Lead process development and improvement projects that drive efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance capability.
  • Partner across functions to manage handovers when introducing new suppliers, standards, or processes.
  • Lead or support problem-solving initiatives to overcome technical challenges and deliver cost savings.
  • Share knowledge across the R&D team and support ongoing learning, optimisation, and innovation.

What You'll Bring

  • Degree in Food Science, Engineering, Chemistry, or a related discipline.
  • Up to 3 years of experience in a food manufacturing environment — ideally within Quality, Engineering, or Product Development.
  • A solid understanding of food processing and packaging technologies.
  • A proactive mindset with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • A team player who thrives on collaboration, curiosity, and continuous improvement.

Why Mars?

We offer:

  • Genuine career growth and learning opportunities.
  • A global network of passionate professionals.
  • A culture built on collaboration, respect, and innovation.
  • And of course — a pet-friendly environment (pets are part of the family here).
