Market leading global specialist manufacturing company

  • £45,000

  • Bonus

  • Company Car, Pension, Package

  • Field based

    The sky, which had started out with such verve and spirit first thing this morning, is now beginning to lose its concentration and slip back into its normal English condition, that of a damp and rancid dishcloth. No matter the weathers effect on your mood, another English tradition will always put that right.

    The Full English Breakfast. Yes, it deserves capitals.

    Life without crispy bacon, fried egg, grilled tomatoes, fat pork sausages and black pudding etc., is a life not worth living. A protein shake, a bowl of muesli or avocado on toast are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit.

    That’s what this business is all about – quality food fit for the finest of Full English Breakfast’s. With a history stretching back over 60 years, this organisation is now the world’s market leader across its product portfolio for the food production sector. They are a company that consistently delivers high quality products and service levels with an excellent reputation with their customers, who supply major retailers across the UK.

    What You Will Do:

  • You will play an integral role as part of a small, yet highly productive team, establishing strong working relationships with customers, as well as UK and international colleagues.

  • Travelling extensively from a home base in the UK you will be responsible for an account portfolio which includes some ‘house-hold name’, food production manufacturers.

  • Providing technical support – especially regarding production issues – you will be key in maintaining and developing customer relationships and developing the business.

  • Through a planned programme of contact/site visits and by responding promptly when issues emerge, you will build strong partnerships with your clients.

    What You Will Have:

  • Solid technical background, ideally within food and/or packaging

  • Strong interpersonal skills, being both persuasive and assertive

  • Methodical and logical with an ability to provide solutions

  • Strong mathematic, written English and IT skills, demonstrable experience of Microsoft applications

  • Highly organised, disciplined, and able to maintain high standards while unsupervised

  • In possession of a strong work and flexible travel ethic

    Colleagues enjoy working in a growing, fast paced, and challenging environment. They embrace change as being constant and work together to ensure the continued success and growth of the business in UK and Ireland. You will be joining a global business who focus on creating long-term value for customers and employees through a passionate dedication to excellence and a comprehensive people development program. This drives a sustained competitive advantage in a dynamic global market. They achieve success by developing industry-leading technology, investing globally, and delivering results for customers and creating career opportunities and development for colleagues.

    Get in Touch:

    The best part of this is, if you are successful in getting the job, we guarantee that you are going to love it. Why? For every 100 people we recruit, 96% are still with their company 12-months later, and 94% are still there 2-years later. That speaks for itself.

    Want to be a part of this? Of course, you do! If you have the entrepreneurial spirit and passion this position requires then get in touch now before the deadline expires.

Rural-Remote UAV Jobs: Charting New Flight Paths Beyond the City

A New Horizon for Drone Enthusiasts Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have soared from niche military tools and hobbyist gadgets to an essential technology across a broad range of sectors—from agriculture and mapping to construction and public safety. Historically, those seeking a career in UAV technology might have assumed they needed to live in a bustling city hub or near major airports to stand a chance of landing a good role. But times are changing. Advances in remote communication, cloud-based data processing, and drone autonomy now enable professionals to work on sophisticated UAV projects from almost anywhere in the UK, including rural and coastal regions. At UAVJobs.co.uk, we’re witnessing a significant shift. More employers are open to hiring remote UAV pilots, data analysts, software developers, and project managers—provided they can access reliable internet and handle occasional on-site visits. Likewise, an increasing number of professionals are seeking “tech jobs by the sea” or “UAV remote countryside” roles, motivated by rising urban living costs, quality-of-life aspirations, and the growing acceptance of distributed teams. In this article, we’ll explore why “rural-remote UAV jobs” are no longer a pipe dream, the benefits and challenges of stepping beyond the city, and how to position yourself for success if you’re ready to settle among rolling hills or scenic coastlines. Whether you’re a seasoned drone pilot, a software engineer working on flight autonomy, or a GIS analyst processing aerial data, you might be pleasantly surprised by the opportunities waiting for you outside metropolitan areas.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in UAVs—A New Frontier in Aerial Autonomy

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)—often called drones—have transformed industries from agriculture and logistics to emergency response and filmmaking. Yet as UAV technology scales in sophistication and widespread adoption, existing computational models struggle with the immense complexity of tasks like real-time path planning, obstacle avoidance, sensor fusion, and multi-agent coordination. Conventional hardware and AI algorithms can handle many missions adequately, but the next level—think fully autonomous UAV fleets, high-speed real-time analytics, and intricate swarm operations—demands a paradigm shift in computational capability. That’s where quantum computing enters the picture. Capitalising on quantum mechanical phenomena (superposition and entanglement), quantum computers can tackle specific challenges (like large-scale optimisation and rapid sampling) much faster than classical machines. When fused with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a quantum-enhanced synergy, it opens fresh possibilities for UAV autonomy—ranging from improved flight safety and swarm coordination to advanced image processing and sensor analytics. In this article, we will: Examine current demands in the UAV sector, highlighting core limitations of classical methods. Explain the basics of quantum computing—what qubits are and how they might bolster AI workflows. Explore how quantum-enhanced AI can elevate UAV applications, spanning everything from route optimisation to swarm coordination. Discuss the hurdles we must overcome (such as noisy quantum hardware or data encoding) and ways to address them. Look at the emerging roles, skill sets, and career pathways to ride this wave of innovation—especially in the UK UAV market. If you are an aviation engineer, data scientist, robotics specialist, or simply intrigued by drones and next-gen computing, read on. Quantum-enhanced AI may well define the next evolution of UAV technology, bridging the gap between current capabilities and truly autonomous flight across the skies.
