We're looking for a hands-on, detail-driven Packaging Technologist to join our NPD team in Carlisle. You'll work closely with Concept Development and Factory teams to deliver packaging that not only looks great, but works in practice - on time, on budget, and on brand.

The Role
\n
\n
This is a varied, fast-paced role where you'll take projects from initial brief right through to launch.
\n
\n
That means:
\n
\n
* Working with sleeve suppliers and agreeing board types, specs and samples
\n
* Liaising with engineers to make sure packaging works with machinery
\n
* Partnering with buyers to scale orders and manage timelines
\n
* Advising the team on what's possible - and what's best - based on your experience
\n
* Running packaging trials in the factory and evaluating results
\n
* Managing profiles and ensuring all spec data is accurate and audit-ready
\n
* You'll also be in regular contact with customers like M&S, so attention to detail and clear communication are key.
