About the Role

  • 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?
