Find the team that fits your skills.
Straightforward benefits that cover you and your family.
You will learn at the bench on live customer projects, guided by senior flavourists and QA scientists.
Application technologists take each customer brief from the bench to a blind tasting panel, usually through several rounds. Precision matters at every step, and feedback is shared openly at every level.
Our QA team is involved from raw material to final release, and the person who signs off a lot has usually tasted it. Food safety and regulatory standards apply to everything we ship.
We match every profile to the customer’s target and keep working until it is right.
Tasting panels are blind and feedback is honest at every level.
Senior flavourists train junior colleagues at the bench, on live customer projects.
Food safety and regulatory discipline in everything we ship.
Interns and fresh graduates at VKA work on real briefs at their own bench, with a senior colleague reviewing their work daily. If you are studying food science, chemistry or a related field in Singapore or Malaysia, write to us about a placement.
Graduate joiners rotate through application, QC and regulatory in their first year before settling into a permanent team.
