Job Description

Reporting to the Formulations Manager, the formulator is responsible for producing and ensuring accuracy of multi-species (primarily poultry and swine) mineral, premix and complementary feed formulations and their labelling. This role will encompass all aspects of formulation including legislation and labelling. The responsibilities include interpretation of raw material specifications to ensure accuracy and efficiency of products, management of live products and involvement in new product development to meet our customer needs.

Working as part of the Atlantic formulations team within Ireland and Great Britain, this role will be a stand alone role in the Belfast site. The ability to demonstrate organisational skills and a methodical approach to the management of work in progress is vital in completing the varied requests that come in each week.  Working within a set time frame, high accuracy and attention to detail are key requirements of the role.

As well as working with the Great Britain Formulations team, the role will also involve regular interaction and collaborative working with the company’s team of animal nutritionists, other internal departments, and our customers. Excellent communication, a team-spirited approach and ability to multi-task are all key pre-requisites for the job.

A degree in agriculture/animal science/animal nutrition or similar would be desirable or experience of working in a similar role within a deadline driven environment. In addition, having an agricultural background, particularly in swine or poultry would be considered an advantage.

Monthly travel to work with the team in Ashbourne, England will be expected.

The post offers future opportunities to develop into the different sectors of the formulations process and within the wider international business. The department is undergoing a transformation and project work is available to the right candidate.

We offer an attractive salary and benefits package reflective of the responsibilities of the role
