Packaging Technologist

New Yesterday

Packaging Technologist – Food Manufacturing – Coventry - £35,000 to £38,000
If you've ever looked at a pack on shelf and thought, “that could've been done better”… this might be for you.
This isn't a role where you just tweak artwork and pass it along.
You'll be right in the middle of it — fixing problems on site, getting new products over the line, and making sure packaging actually works in the real world… not just on a spec sheet.
You'll be:
Managing packaging development from concept through to launch
Working closely with design agencies on artwork, reprographics and print quality
Leading packaging trials and supporting product launches
Troubleshooting issues on site with QA and Operations
Managing packaging specs, compliance and ensuring everything is fit for purpose
Driving cost-saving and improvement projects without cutting corners
Building strong relationships with suppliers to stay ahead of trends
What they're looking for
Solid experience in NPD packaging within food manufacturing
Someone who understands materials, films, and how packaging behaves in production
Comfortable working cross-functionally with pretty much every department
A problem-solver — not someone who escalates everything at the first hurdle
Ideally degree-qualified with a packaging or food-related background
If you enjoy the mix of technical detail, real-world problem solving, and seeing your work on shelf… you'll like this.
