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.

You'll be the technical brains behind packaging across two production sites, getting stuck into:

• Managing artwork and print across internal systems and retailer platforms
• Owning packaging specifications, BRC compliance, and waste reporting

• The ability to juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball
• Solid knowledge of own label vs branded packaging processes

• 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

• Free onsite parking
• Enhanced maternity and paternity benefits
