Dairy technologist (Uelzena eG)

The Uelzena Group, headquartered in Uelzen and with several subsidiaries in Germany, is one of the leading suppliers and innovative problem solvers in food processing and milk refinement. Our core business is the production of ingredients, dairy products, instant beverages, health products and contract manufacturing for the food industry. A total of around 1000 employees (m/f/d) work at our five locations.

Professional profile

The field of activity of dairy technologists (m/f/d) is very diverse. They process raw milk into dairy products of all kinds, from fresh products and butter to various types of cheese and milk powder. The job also includes control and monitoring tasks at various production plants for the industrial production of dairy products. They also check the quantity and quality of the raw milk supplied. Milk technologists work in the milk processing industry, but their skills are also in high demand in research and development and other food sectors. New technologies influence their work just as much as production standards and occupational health and safety and environmental protection.
