Let’s Set the Record Straight.
Packaging isn’t “just a box”. Not here.
We’re partnering with a seriously impressive food manufacturer — the kind that doesn’t follow trends, they set them. From protein-heavy favourites to a fast-growing seafood portfolio, this business is scaling up and needs a Packaging Technologist who knows how to make packaging work harder, smarter, and better.
This is a role for someone who likes to be in the action. New launches. Packaging upgrades. Cost-down projects. Sustainability challenges. Real impact. Real visibility. No hiding behind a screen.
If you want a role where your decisions actually end up on shelf, keep reading.
The Job (The Good Stuff)
You’ll be the technical brains behind packaging across two production sites, getting stuck into:
-
Translating briefs into practical, production-ready packaging solutions
-
Presenting packaging concepts with confidence (yes, people will listen)
-
Leading packaging trials, transit testing, and launch activity
-
Managing artwork and print across internal systems and retailer platforms
-
Owning packaging specifications, BRC compliance, and waste reporting
-
Working closely with procurement to identify smart cost-saving opportunities
-
Acting as the go-to packaging expert for operations, NPD, and suppliers
Hands-on. Fast-moving. Proper packaging work.

Care about getting things right first time
-
Enjoy being hands-on with trials and sample prep
-
Communicate clearly and confidently at all levels
-
Like learning, improving, and pushing packaging forward
