Job description

Join the Packaging Qualification Lab as a Qualification Engineer!

You will join a dynamic, passionate, and supportive team and work in a challenging operational environment.

The Qualification team is a young team, created less than 4 years ago. Under a single entity, it brings together several areas of expertise: homologation, compatibility, packaging qualification, and technical agreements. This enables us to ensure the best quality for our products from AC (Articles Conditionnement / Packaging Components) to PF (Produit Fini / Finished Product), while also integrating control methods.

Qualification is an international team of over 80 people based across 5 continents. This will allow you to demonstrate your ability to implement projects on a global scale.

You will evolve within Qualification in the Homologation (Qualification) department, SAPMENA which is responsible for validating packaging designs in compliance with our specifications to ensure the highest quality for our consumers. The commitments of "L’Oréal For The Future" lead us to develop new packaging technologies and implement new transformation processes. To support this major challenge, we must develop qualification frameworks, new methods and invest in equipment that will allow us to qualify the packaging tomorrow.

You will be at the heart of packaging design, quality, and launch agility, and will be called upon to be the voice of Qualification on your projects.

You will work in partnership with Packaging Engineering (in charge of packaging development for launches), Advanced Packaging (packaging innovation), Color & Artwork teams (decoration development), and other Qualification services, with strong synergy with your international counterparts in the various Hubs.

• Audit packaging suppliers and train on Homologation requirements and methods (transformers, mold makers, external laboratories)
• Contribute to the development of new digital tools & platforms for the zone
• Contribute to promoting packaging qualification within the packaging community using our intranet site and communication actions

Profile Sought

• Packaging Engineer or General Engineer with a technical background
• Initial experience in the cosmetic packaging field would be a plus
• Knowledge of plastic transformation techniques and molds (injection / injection-blow molding / extrusion-blow molding)
• Given the highly international environment, a good command of English is required
• Curiosity and an affinity for technical matters
• Autonomy, rigor, and good communication skills
• Collaborative spirit
• Comfortable performing laboratory tests

Location: Based primarily in Mumbai
