Develop and reformulate dairy and plant-based products from bench trial to factory scale-up at a food manufacturer's R&D centre in Aarhus, running shelf-life studies, sensory panels and pilot-plant trials alongside the production and quality teams.

Sample and test raw materials, in-process batches and finished cured meats and cheeses at a processing plant near Parma, checking pH, water activity, salt content and weights, and logging results for batch release.

Pack fresh fruit, vegetables and ready-to-eat salads for supermarket chains at a temperature-controlled packing centre outside Ghent, running weighing, sealing and labelling lines and carrying out visual quality checks on every batch.
