Mondelēz International is recruiting 48 sensory panellist job roles at its historic Bournville site in Birmingham.
The part-time roles, also known as chocolate tasters, will play a crucial role in product development by tasting and providing consistent, objective and honest feedback on new chocolate products, including iconic brands such as Cadbury, Toblerone and Milka.
The sensory panellist roles are part of ongoing investment being made at the Bournville site, the home of Cadbury, with the brand celebrating its 200th anniversary year.
The roles, which were previously located at the Reading Scientific Services site in Wokingham, will now be based out of Mondelēz’s Global Centre of Excellence for Chocolate research and development at Bournville.
Afsha Chugtai, section manager in the consumer science team at Mondelēz International, said: “We are hugely excited to be recruiting 48 sensory panellists to join our amazing research and development team in Bournville. Often called a ‘dream job’ for many, the tasters will play an invaluable role in helping to develop the perfect taste profiles for our amazing products. Previously our Sensory Panellists have helped develop consumer favourites including Caramilk and Toblerone Truffles.
“We currently have around 600 employees working in a variety of research and development roles in the UK and are looking forward to welcoming our newly trained chocolate tasters to the team. They will enable us to continue to innovate and lead the future of snacking.”
