Who We Are

At Nature's Touch, you're not just building a career: you're joining a trailblazing team that believes in the power of collaboration, diversity and continuous learning.

Since 2004, we've grown from a small startup into a global leader in private-label frozen food manufacturing. From our roots in Quebec, we've expanded across North America with state-of-the-art facilities and a growing presence in Australia, Taiwan and Japan, proudly supplying millions of households worldwide.

What drives us is simple: a commitment to quality, innovation and sustainability. We're shaping the future of frozen fruit, and we'd love for you to be part of that journey. At Nature's Touch, growth opportunities are everywhere.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Senior Packaging Technologist, the Packaging Technologist is the hands-on technical driver of our CI and maintenance packaging projects: bag and box redesigns, supplier onboarding, facility transfers and specification updates.

You'll work across all three packaging tiers, primary (flexible film), secondary (corrugated) and tertiary (palletization), partnering closely with plant teams and with Regulatory, Sustainability, Procurement, Operations and Supply Chain.

What You'll Do

CI & Maintenance Packaging Projects

• Execute packaging redesigns and optimizations (film gauge reduction, material changes, box redesigns, formats)


• Support plant trials, analyze results and troubleshoot packaging issues on the floor


• Conduct packaging performance testing (seal strength, drop, ISTA, top-load, edge crush, OTR/MVTR)

Flexible Film & Secondary Packaging

• Develop and optimize flexible film structures (laminate, co-ex, mono-material) and validate machinability and barrier performance


• Develop and maintain corrugated specifications (board grade, flute, ECT, dimensions) and identify optimization opportunities


• Model and optimize pallet configurations and container loading in TOPS to maximize pack-out


• Create and maintain version-controlled packaging specifications in TraceGains and TOPS


• Support supplier onboarding and qualification, and maintain supplier documentation (COAs, certifications, specs)


• Support facility transfers, co-packer qualification, non-conformance investigations and NPD projects as needed

What You Bring

• 2-3 years of packaging experience in a manufacturing environment, or a recent graduate with relevant internships (required)


• Hands-on experience with flexible film and primary packaging (required)


• Plant experience in food, beverage or CPG manufacturing (required)


• Floor-level troubleshooting experience: machine changeovers, flexible film issues (required)


• Experience with TOPS and TraceGains (required)


• Strong Excel skills and practical use of AI tools for documentation, analysis and reporting (required)


• Bilingual French and English (required)


• Exposure to secondary packaging (corrugated) and palletization (asset)


• Experience with packaging testing: seal strength, drop, ISTA, top-load (asset)


• Knowledge of sustainable packaging and EPR, including cost evaluation (asset)


• Experience with Monday, ArtiosCAD or Esko (asset)


• Post-secondary education in Packaging, Food Science, Materials, Chemistry or a related field (asset)

Working Conditions

• Hybrid model: a combination of office, lab and plant presence (Ville Saint-Laurent) and remote work


• Hands-on role: direct involvement in trials, validations and production support


• Multiple CI and maintenance projects at once, with occasional travel to our manufacturing sites

Why Join Us

• Join a growing global company where innovation and collaboration drive everything we do.


• Work with people who are hands-on, curious and passionate about what they create.


• Be part of a supportive environment where learning and teamwork matter as much as results.


• Contribute to products that make healthy, sustainable food accessible to millions.
