Do you want to make a delicious difference? Planet A Foods is for those who want to build something extraordinary with tangible purpose. We’re reinventing how the world makes food ingredients, such as chocolate, replacing scarce, unsustainable raw materials with scalable, clean, and delicious alternatives. We are united by impact, driven by innovation, and energized by the mission of building a food system that serves both people and the planet. Working here means choosing meaningful challenges over easy wins. You’ll join an entrepreneurial, international team of scientists, engineers, operators, and industry experts who are deeply committed to creating real planetary impact. We are at a pivotal moment in our global growth. Our next landmark project is the €12M second-location expansion of our food production facilities. This high-impact Capital Investment Project is designed to scale our production capabilities by seamlessly merging the proven knowledge of our running facilities with newly improved, cutting-edge laboratory technologies. As the End-to-End Technology Process Owner within our CapEx team, you will bridge the gap between R&amp;D and operations, guiding the technical lifecycle from initial flow diagrams to full-scale production. You aren't just managing a transfer; you are engineering the scalable, future-proof blueprint of our manufacturing footprint.

Imagine a world without chocolate. Horrifying, right? But the supply of cocoa is endangered and chocolate is as bad as meat for our planet. We make future-proof chocolate using precision fermentation. Doing this, our chocolate is 10x more sustainable and 20% cheaper than conventional chocolate. In order to mimic the organoleptic properties of chocolate (tender, smoothly melting taste release) we are working on the flavor itself but also on replacing the cocoa butter. 55 Mio lbs of chocolate are consumed every day. By 2035 we will substitute a big chunk of it through our sustainable chocolate.
