NPD TECHNOLOGIST / BAKERY DEVELOPMENT | MASSIVE CAREER OPPORTUNITY 🥖

S/W England
Salary up to £45,000 + Benefits

Are you obsessed with bread, baking, sourdough and everything bakery?
I'm looking for a genuinely passionate bakery enthusiast to join one of the UK's largest bakery groups at what will be one of the most exciting bakery manufacturing sites in the country.

This isn't just another NPD job.

You'll have the opportunity to work within a brand-new, state-of-the-art, highly automated bakery — representing the single largest investment the group has ever made.

Here's the interesting part...
Your bakery knowledge is more important than your job title.
You might already be working in:

  • NPD / Product Development
  • Artisan or Industrial Baking
  • Instore Supermarket Baking
  • Sourdough Production
  • Bread Development
  • Bakery Production
  • Process Development
  • Technical or Quality within a bakery environment

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

If you understand dough, fermentation, sourdough, ingredients, baking processes and how great bakery products are created, I want to hear from you.

Don't have an NPD background? That's not necessarily a problem.
If you bring the bakery expertise and genuine passion, my client is willing to invest in developing your skills across the full NPD process. Of course, previous experience or qualifications in Food Manufacturing NPD would be a major advantage — but it isn't the number one requirement.

Why join?

  • Work for one of the UK's largest bakery groups
  • Join a brand-new, highly automated manufacturing facility
  • Be part of the group's largest-ever investment
  • Salary up to £45,000 + benefits
  • Monday to Friday
  • Genuine training and development
  • Excellent opportunities for internal career progression
  • The opportunity to combine your passion for bakery with a career in NPD
