A varied and autonomous Packaging Development role with a leading UK FMCG business.

Opportunity to take ownership of the packaging agenda at a successful manufacturing site for a much-loved UK brand.

As Packaging Technologist, you’ll work cross-functionally across the business, building positive relationships to ensure projects are delivered successfully.

There’s lots to get stuck into – a key project will be working on new recyclable materials for the brand. It’s a broad role, covering everything packaging related at site – innovation, quality improvement and cost-optimisation projects, factory trials and supplier management.

Whilst you’ll be the Packaging champion at site, you’ll be supported by the wider packaging team across the group and be involved in group-wide projects.

You’ll need a background in FMCG packaging within a manufacturing environment, ideally with a packaging related qualification. Most important is having the ability to build positive working relationships with stakeholders across the business and suppliers. Being engaging, influential and collaborative to deliver the packaging strategy.

The practical bits…

This is a site-based role working Mon-Fri days. The benefits package includes bonus, private healthcare and enhanced pension scheme.
It’s a permanent role which requires the permanent right to work in the UK.
