Packaging Technologist
We are growing! As an award-winning company with internationally recognised brands like BLOOM, Opihr and Greenalls gins and an enviable portfolio or retailer and own label brands, the way our products look and feel is really important. To support our evolution, we are now looking for a Packaging Technologist to join our Innovation team in Warrington to work on new packaging development projects.
A flavour for the job
Working as part of our Innovation team, our new Packaging Technologist will take ownership for briefing new materials, evaluating specs, and working with the wider team to progress new developments. With a technical background, you will have the ability to troubleshoot any packaging issues, working with suppliers to come up with solutions to complex queries and problems and advising on capabilities and costs.
The Packaging Technologist will also be expected to ensure that pack development is delivered to agreed timescales and as the technical/materials expert in the team, you will be pivotal to bringing efficiencies to our packaging operation, supporting operational process with quality loss reduction when needed.
A Taste of the Business
We are a unique blend, a 10 year-old business with a 250+ year heritage, a pioneering company with ambitions to grow and share our passion for spirits with generations to come. We’re not perfect, we still have processes and systems to implement and improve and as a company we operate in a lean and agile way, but we are getting there. Joining QB (as we’re known to our friends) is a unique opportunity to roll your sleeves up, get stuck in and really help to shape the business as we expand. Are you up for the challenge?
Our Perfect Serve - A bit about you
Our new Packaging Technologist will be passionate about finding solutions to complex and challenging problems, making suggestions and playing a key role in our packaging solutions development. You’ll be organised and happy to work independently, managing your own projects and workload. From a technical point of view you will have extensive experience of working in the FMCG industry and will ideally have a degree or equivalent in packaging or materials, ideally with experience of glass and liquids.
So if this sounds like you and you want to join a fast paced business with ambitions to grow, apply today!
