This £billion blue chip organisation seeks an experienced packaging technologist from the chilled Food sector. You will have experience of working with a broad variety of packaging formats and technologies including Printed Folded Cartons, some rigid plastics and flexibles, ideally with experience of working with the major retailers although this is not a prerequisite. Strong project management skills are essential as there are circa 300 SKU’s active at any one time, as is the ability to innovate within a well established product category whilst always bearing in mind the implications on cost and the environment and of course making sure the packaging is fit for purpose. There is a lot of investment going into this company and it is an exciting time to join. The role will involve some travel to visit customers and suppliers.
