About the Opportunity
Do you have experience in technical customer compliance within the fresh produce industry? Are you detail-oriented, confident working with quality systems and comfortable translating customer requirements into clear actions? Then this could be a great opportunity to join Driscoll’s as our new Technical Customer Compliance Specialist EMEA.
What does your working day look like?
No two days will be exactly the same. One day you may be reviewing customer requirements, updating a customer portal or working with internal teams to improve quality documentation. On another, you could be visiting a UK grower to conduct a compliance assessment and follow up on corrective actions.
You will also monitor relevant industry developments, including BRCGS updates, and make sure important changes are communicated across the organisation.

- Perform internal audits and follow up on non-conformances and corrective actions.
- Monitor relevant industry and customer compliance developments.
- Work closely with internal teams, growers and external partners.
- Participate in UK and EMEA compliance meetings, projects and industry events.
- If you enjoy combining technical expertise with hands-on collaboration and want to contribute to maintaining high standards across our UK and EMEA operations, we would love to hear from you.
Candidate Profile
As Technical Customer Compliance Specialist EMEA, you will help ensure that our operations, systems and grower network continue to meet customer, industry and regulatory requirements.
You will manage customer compliance information, maintain quality management systems and support both internal and external audits. You will also visit UK grower sites to assess compliance with customer standards, social requirements and company policies.
This is a varied role combining compliance, auditing, stakeholder communication and continuous improvement. You will work closely with colleagues across different departments, growers and external partners.
About you

You bring
A degree in Food Science, Agricultural Science, Business Administration or a related field.
At least 3 years of experience in technical customer compliance or a similar role within fresh produce.
