Apprenticeship

Food Technology Expert (m/f/d)

As a Food Technology Expert, you are involved in the production of our products. You accompany the entire production cycle – from checking and processing the incoming raw materials to quality control and filling of the finished goods. You also create and test taste samples in the laboratory. That puts you right at the heart of the action when it comes to the development of innovative food and beverage ingredients.

In Darmstadt, it is all about beverages, flavours, emulsions and compounds. At the Dahlenburg site, you will work with dry ingredients, such as dried fruit and vegetable pieces like the strawberries in your morning muesli. In our plant in Neuss, the focus is on malt with its diverse application options for food and beverages. You can find it, for example, as a natural sweetener or in malt lemonades.

Join a growing company and unlock plenty of career prospects for yourself!
