JOB SUMMARY

Responsible for the development, improvement and commercialisation of liquid food and beverage products, with strong involvement in production process, production pipeline, equipment operation, scale-up and troubleshooting. The role works closely with R&D, Production, QA/QC, Engineering and Procurement teams to ensure products are successfully transferred from laboratory trials to consistent and efficient commercial production.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Product Development & Formulation

• Develop and improve liquid food and beverage formulations according to company requirements.
• Conduct laboratory trials, product testing and formulation optimisation.
• Evaluate ingredients based on taste, functionality, stability, quality and cost.
• Conduct sensory evaluation and product comparison.
• Maintain accurate formulation and product development records.

1. Production Trial & Scale-Up

• Conduct production trials from laboratory scale to commercial production.
• Convert and optimise formulations for larger production batches.
• Monitor the effect of scale-up on taste, viscosity, Brix, pH, appearance and product consistency.
• Work closely with Production Operators during trial runs.
• Identify and resolve issues arising during scale-up.

1. Production Pipeline & Process

• Understand and monitor the liquid production flow from mixing tank → pump → valve → pipeline → holding tank → filling machine.
• Evaluate production parameters including temperature, mixing time, flow rate, pressure and filling conditions.
• Identify opportunities to improve production efficiency and minimise product loss.
• Assist in establishing standard production parameters and process controls.

1. Pump, Valve & Equipment Troubleshooting

• Understand the basic operation and function of pumps, valves, pipelines, mixing tanks and filling systems.
• Troubleshoot issues involving flow rate, pressure, leakage, blockage and inconsistent product transfer.
• Work with Engineering/Maintenance teams to identify equipment-related issues.
• Recommend suitable process or equipment improvements where required.

1. CIP & Hygiene

• Support and monitor the suitability of production processes for CIP (Clean-in-Place).
• Identify potential product residue, blockage or contamination points within tanks, valves and pipelines.
• Work with Production and QA/QC to improve cleaning and sanitation processes.

1. Quality & Product Consistency

• Monitor critical product parameters such as:
• Brix
• pH
• Viscosity
• Temperature
• Appearance
• Taste
• Product yield
• Investigate product deviations and batch-to-batch inconsistencies.
• Conduct root cause analysis and recommend corrective actions.
• Ensure products meet approved specifications.

1. Shelf-Life & Stability

• Conduct and monitor shelf-life and stability testing.
• Evaluate changes in taste, colour, odour, viscosity, separation and other product characteristics.
• Recommend formulation or process adjustments based on stability results.

1. Costing & Yield Improvement

• Prepare basic formulation and product costing calculations.
• Monitor raw material usage, production yield and wastage.
• Identify opportunities to reduce production cost and product loss without compromising quality.
• Work with Procurement to evaluate alternative ingredients or suppliers.

1. SOP & Documentation

• Prepare and maintain:
• Product Formulation
• Product Specification
• Batch Sheet
• Production Trial Report
• SOP
• Work Instruction
• Stability Test Report
• Ensure all formulation and process changes are properly documented and communicated to relevant departments.

1. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Production, QA/QC, Engineering, Procurement and Operations.
• Provide technical support to Production when product or process issues occur.
• Assist in training Production Operators on new products, processes and SOPs.
• Participate in production improvement and new product implementation projects.
