About the team

Join the Animal & Plant Biosolutions Europe commercial organisation, working alongside our monogastric sales and technical teams across Europe.

Our team helps feed millers, integrators, premixers and distributors get the best performance from Novonesis biosolutions, including enzymes, probiotics and related application solutions.

• Build and manage technical partners across Europe, including equipment suppliers, engineering companies and installation partners.
• Support commercial growth by developing technical business cases, project costings and customer solutions in partnership with Account Managers.
• Build technical capability across the organisation by training Sales and Technical Service colleagues and sharing market and application insights with global teams.

What you bring

• Degree in feed technology, process/mechanical engineering, animal science or a related field.
• 5–7+ years of relevant experience in feed manufacturing, feed process engineering, plant/production management, or application engineering within feed equipment or feed additives.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of feed mill processes, including grinding, mixing, conditioning, pelleting, cooling and dosing.
• Experience leading technical projects involving installation, commissioning, start-up, optimisation and troubleshooting, including coordination with external contractors.
• Ability to work directly with customers and translate technical challenges into practical and commercially viable solutions.
• Fluent English and willingness to travel across Europe.

It would be a plus if you have

• Experience with liquid application or post-pellet liquid application (PPLA) systems.
• Knowledge of enzymes or other heat-sensitive feed additives, including recovery analysis and sampling protocols.
• Previous customer-facing or commercial experience, including business cases and project costing.
• An additional European language, such as French, German, Spanish or Polish.
• Additional training or certification in feed technology or feed processing.
