Position Overview & Specifications

Already thinking about tomorrow? You’ve already got the makings of an M&S legend. Now, all you need is the opportunity to get started. Over 10 weeks as a Food Technology intern, we’ll give you that and more. If you have a passion for retail, a digital mindset and the inquisitiveness to find solutions for our customers, M&S is the place to be, at exactly the right time.

Food has always been at the heart of the M&S story. We were the first to introduce sell-by dates and the cold chain process. The first to ban hydrogenated fats from our foods and ditch artificial colours and flavours. All because our food technologists are the masters of food safety, quality, and legality. Something you could become too. In your time here, you’ll shadow them to get the inside scoop on how we do what we do. You’ll work on diverse projects, like preventing bacterial growth or measuring the texture of soft sweets – and you’ll learn how to bring new products to life. Meeting, greeting, eating. It’s all the exposure to people, products, and opportunities you need to begin your exciting food journey.

Here, you can go on to great things. This is your chance to get real experience at a diverse, global, digital-first retailer. And get an invaluable head-start over your competition when you leave university.
