Red Tractor seeks new pigs technical manager

Red Tractor is seeking a new pigs technical manager to replace Georgina Crayford, who is moving to a new communications role within the assurance body when she returns from maternity leave.

Red Tractor described the vacancy as ‘a rare opportunity for an experienced pig professional to use their production or supply chain expertise to influence the standards that shape the pig sector’.

“As Pig Technical Manager, you will act as the organisation’s in-house expert on the pig sector, using your technical knowledge and industry insight to develop standards and guidance that are practical, credible and fit for purpose,” the advert, which can be viewed here, says.

“You will ensure these standards continue to evolve in line with industry developments, emerging challenges and changing consumer expectations, helping the scheme remain current, realistic and respected across the sector.

A key part of the role will be representing the scheme across the wider pig supply chain. You will work closely with producers, processors and other stakeholders to promote understanding of the scheme, gather insight from the sector, and ensure the organisation remains closely aligned with a fast-moving pig industry.”

The closing date to apply is April 30.
