Structural Designer – Corrugated Packaging & Retail Displays
Etobicoke, ON | On-site | Permanent, Direct Hire
$80,000–$82,000 annually
Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.

Do you enjoy turning a display concept into something that can be built, shipped and used in stores? We’re hiring a Structural Designer to develop corrugated packaging and point-of-purchase displays from initial concept through prototyping and production.

This is a structural design role focused on how displays are built and manufactured. Graphic design experience is an asset, but it is not required.

What You’ll Do

• Create structural concepts, sketches, mockups and prototypes for retail displays and merchandising solutions.
• Develop designs in ArtiosCAD, including working drawings, revisions, component specifications and bills of materials.
• Select corrugated grades, flutes, foam and other materials based on the display’s function, appearance, cost and shipping needs.
• Prepare production-ready drawings and files for cutting dies, print plates and assembly.
• Write clear work instructions for the assembly team.
• Use the cutting table to produce and refine samples when needed.
• Work with design, production and vendors to resolve challenges and move projects through approval and the first production sample.
• Keep drawings and project documentation accurate and organized in an ISO-certified environment.

What You Bring

• At least 3 years of structural design experience in point-of-purchase displays, corrugated packaging or related industrial work.
• Practical knowledge of corrugated grades and flutes, foam, prototyping and production methods.
• Proficiency with ArtiosCAD and experience creating designs that can be manufactured.
• Experience with Esko cutting table software.
• Computer skills across Mac, MS Office and Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Strong attention to detail, clear communication and an openness to feedback.
• A portfolio showing your structural design work, ideally including displays or packaging you helped take from concept to production.

A bachelor’s degree in industrial design, structural design, package design or design engineering is preferred. Graphic design experience is an asset.

What’s Offered

• $80,000–$82,000 annually, with higher compensation considered on an individual basis for candidates with relevant experience.
• A second-generation, family-run business with a tenured team and a focus on work-life balance.
• Investment in new equipment and facilities.
• DPSP retirement savings program.
• Vacation, sick days, Employee Assistance Program and company events.
• After three months: employer-paid medical, dental, extended health, life insurance, critical illness and AD&D benefits.
• Long-term disability coverage, with the premium paid by the employee.

Candidates selected to move forward will be asked to complete a computer-based Prevue assessment as part of the interview process.
