Sector: Food Manufacturing
Salary: £35,000-£37,500
Type: Full Time, Permanent
The Pitch:
Think packaging is just boxes and labels? Think again. We're teaming up with a top-tier food manufacturer that doesn't just make products-they make waves. From protein-packed favourites to a growing seafood empire, they're looking for a Packaging Technologist who can turn ordinary packaging into something extraordinary.
This isn't a desk-only gig. You'll dive into new product launches, structural packaging improvements, and cost-saving initiatives, while keeping an eye on sustainability and quality. Hands-on, fast-paced, and cross-functional-basically, if you like a challenge, this is your playground.
What You'll Actually Do:
Turn briefs into real-world packaging solutions that check all the boxes (literally).
Pitch your brilliant concepts to clients like a packaging rockstar.
Lead trials, travel tests, and ensure product launches hit the mark.
Manage artwork and print runs across internal and retailer platforms.
Own packaging specs, BRC certifications, and waste reporting.
Hunt down cost-saving opportunities alongside procurement.
Be the go-to technical packaging guru across two production sites.
Who We're Looking For:
2+ years as a Packaging Technologist in food manufacturing.
Seafood or protein experience? Even better.
A master of juggling multiple projects without breaking a sweat.
Understanding of own label vs. branded processes.
Flexible, mobile, and not afraid of a bit of travel between sites.
Full driving licence.
A communication ninja with project management chops.
You'll Shine If You:
Sweat the details with a "right first time" mentality.
Roll up your sleeves and get hands-on.
Thrive in packaging trials and sample prep.
Can chat fluently with both internal teams and external partners.
Love learning and growing in a fast-moving environment.
What's In It For You:
Competitive salary
Generous holiday allowance
Life assurance (min 2x salary)
Share Save scheme
Career development & internal progression
Free onsite parking
Enhanced maternity/paternity benefits
