Many people talk about the ‘world of FMCG’ (Fast Moving Consumer Goods), but when we dig a little deeper, we often find that the amazing range of career opportunities that are available in this industry surprises people!

So, to ensure that we are building the talent pipelines we need for the future, we are continuing to increase our focus on driving industry awareness and ramping up the early careers opportunities available at Griffin’s Snacks. Currently, we offer...

• Graduate roles; We have a range of jobs that have been identified as suitable for graduates who have specific qualifications. These include roles such as Graduate Food Technologist, Graduate Packaging Technologist, Junior Quality Assurance Technologist and Marketing Assistant.

• Entry level roles: Although many of our roles do require specific technical skills and experience, we also have jobs that we consider ‘entry level’ as they don’t require any proven experience – for these roles we look for a great attitude, reliability and willingness to learn!

• Manufacturing Traineeship Program: This is an exciting pathway for people wanting to start and grow in a career in Food Manufacturing. Starting as a Machine Operator, trainees are trained on machines within the plant, with opportunities to gain National Qualifications as they work and the support of mentors. This is a multi-year journey with opportunities to specialize further, build skill sets and grow in other areas of the business.

• Internships: Over recent years, we’ve proudly taken part in the annual FMCG Futures Internship Programme, offering a range of paid internships to students interested in getting a taste of the world of FMCG. To date, we’ve offered these internships within functions including Marketing, Sales, Finance, Innovation, Human Resources, Operations and IT. These opportunities are advertised via an external provider, usually through a mid-year recruitment campaign, with the 12-week internships taking place over summer.
