About the role
As Plant Protein Technologist, you will contribute to internal innovation & capability on alternative protein application across different plant-based foods in the Flora Food Group portfolio: creams, cheese, spreads and plant butter.
The focus will be on assessing various biomass proteins and processing technologies to incorporate them in product applications.

You have good knowledge of protein analysis with hands on experience. You are good at data analysis, and you have knowledge in statistical analysis.
