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.
