Packaging Technologist

Packaging Innovation Technologist – Food/FMCG

Flintshire (Hybrid) – £50,000 – £55,000

 

Most packaging roles talk about making things look better.

This one is about making things work better. Cheaper. Smarter. With less plastic and less tax.

 

The role

 

You’ll be driving packaging optimisation and innovation across a wide range of chilled and frozen products.

 

Right now, the focus is clear: reduce packaging, improve efficiency, and cut costs across the supply chain — from factory to shelf.

 

You’ll be:

 

  • Leading packaging reduction and cost-saving projects
  • Improving efficiency across formats, packing and logistics
  • Working closely with suppliers and internal teams
  • Managing your own projects end-to-end
  • Supporting a constant flow of product launches and changes

 

What they’re looking for

 

  • Packaging experience within FMCG
  • Comfortable working across different materials and formats
  • Someone who can manage projects without being micromanaged
  • Organised, resilient, and able to deal with a fast-paced environment

 

If you need structure and a big team around you, this won’t suit.

If you like autonomy and getting things done, it will.

 

The Opportunity

 

Fast-moving business, lots of product launches, and plenty of scope to take on more as you prove yourself.

 

A good place to accelerate your packaging career.
