Affluent in the World of Flavour? The Next part of your Journey awaits...
Are you passionate about sweet flavours and looking to take your expertise to a different adventure? Join Essential, a second-generation family-owned Australian flavour house with over 35 years of legacy. Located in Melbourne and expanding across Asia, we're renowned for creating the future of taste—memories that linger long after the last bite.
We're seeking a highly experienced Senior Flavourist, with approx 15 years of proven success in flavour development, to lead sweet flavour creation projects across Australia and Asia. You'll collaborate with innovative teams, engage directly with customers to bring their visions to life, and shape the flavours found in confectionery, beverages, bakery, dairy, tea, and more. Every day, you'll develop new concepts, refine existing flavours for unique applications, and harness cutting-edge technology such as automation and GCMS flavour extraction to ensure perfect matches. You'll work hands‐on with the latest automated production systems and help transition creations from lab to large‐scale production.
Essential's new Creation and Collaboration Centre in Melbourne—plus our growing footprint in Vietnam and across Asia—offer you the platform to experiment, learn, and evolve. Imagine yourself presenting technical solutions, solving challenges, and reformulating flavours to meet regulatory needs or global supply demands. You'll build deep customer bonds, optimise flavours, and drive innovation in a supportive, forward-thinking environment that celebrates teamwork and achievement.
We're passionate about what we do and guided by values: community, continuous learning, bold thinking, reliable solutions, and sharing the love. We thrive on delivering the right taste solution, every time.
Melbourne's vibrant food scene, dynamic events, and world‐class liveability await you and your family. From the laneways filled with aroma and colour to the endless calendar of festivals, there's always something to experience. Whether it's discovering new flavours at bustling markets, enjoying the city's café culture, or exploring stunning coastlines and countryside just a short drive away, Melbourne offers the perfect balance of lifestyle, opportunity, and inspiration.
If you're ready to explore new horizons and shape the taste of tomorrow, this could be your next great adventure. Join us and be part of a team where creativity thrives, innovation is celebrated, and every day brings the chance to make a lasting impact. We'd love to hear from you.
