Analytical & Sensory Specialist
1 week ago
Our story goes back more than 150 years, to the chilly southern coast of Scandinavia. From our early success in Sweden and Denmark, we've grown into the world's leading specialist producer of plant-based oils, employing more than 4,000 people all across the globe.
We work with our customers to make the products you love even better. The oils we produce go into making your chocolate extra-creamy or putting the crunch into your croissant. And it's not just food — we work across industries to make products that are higher quality, healthier and better for the planet.
Everything we do is about Making Better Happen.
AAK Denmark
Located in the Port of Aarhus, AAK Denmark is the oldest site in AAK founded in 1871 and the world's largest producer of shea oil and fats. Our highly automated production process runs 24/7 – 365 days a year, supervised by expert operators from our central control room.
About the role
In AAK's Global Confectionery Center of Excellence, located in Aarhus, Denmark, you must be able to combine the production of chocolate and its analysis. You will work in close collaboration with dedicated colleagues who all share the passion for chocolate. The team of chocolate technicians contributes in various contexts to AAK's vision of being "first choice for value-adding vegetable oil solutions".
You will contribute to the vision by:
- Transforming ideas and projects into finished chocolates with unique properties, supporting developers and customer technicians in the design and execution of development-oriented or customer-driven trials.
- Contributing to teaching AAK's regional colleagues and core customers in chocolate processes and product properties at AAK academies.
- Supporting sales and marketing through the production of inspiration and taste samples for exhibitions and seminars.
Your responsibilities
You will be part of a strong team of six colleagues who work closely together with hands-on production of chocolate and confectionery to test, prove, document, and showcase our ingredient solutions. You will work with advanced analysis equipment in our mini chocolate factory and implement sensory analysis to quantify the benefits of our ingredients. You will be involved in the development of new methods for analysis and creative chocolate applications.
The tone of communication in the team is informal, while at the same time we have a strong sense of responsibility for what we deliver.
When carrying out trials, several standard processes and methods are used, including:
- Mixing, rolling and conching chocolates, compounds and fillings.
- Tempering chocolate and molding pralines and bars.
- Carrying out analysis – durability, texture, viscosity, rheology, sensory, melt profiles (DSC), etc.
- Analyzing correlations in applications, e.g. textures and how chocolate behaves under specific conditions.
- Operating and maintaining existing chocolate and analysis equipment as well as commissioning new equipment.
- Contributing to maintaining a well-functioning, safe and clean chocolate laboratory.
About you
Ideally, you have a higher education such as chemist, food engineer, food scientist, pharmacist, process technologist or similar with a strong background in Analytical in the Food Industry, preferably in the confectionery Industry. A proven record in Sensory analysis is a strong differentiator.
We value your ability to combine theory with practical experience to understand fat chemistry and ingredient functions in chocolate. You should be able to communicate observations and results effectively.
Attention to detail, responsibility, humor, commitment, initiative, and teamwork are highly valued.
In return, AAK offers
We offer a challenging, exciting and varied working day with motivated colleagues in an informal environment where humor is part of everyday life. You can expect:
- A great working atmosphere where everyone matters.
- Diverse and challenging international projects.
- Investment in your development with training and mentorship.
- An inclusive workplace that values every individual's perspective.
