Auckland City, New Zealand Technical Recruitment Solutions Full time

Established and trusted Auckland food manufacturer
- Supportive working environment
- Interesting product development projects

**About Our Client**:
Our client is an established New Zealand-owned food manufacturer. From humble beginnings, they now employ over 250 people and have produced many of the new and creative products you see in your supermarket today. Their continued growth has seen them expand their Auckland production facilities in recent years and they now operate out of a modern and automated manufacturing plant operating multiple production lines on the site that have occupied for over 50 years.

**The Role**:
Reporting to the Head of Product Development, this role plays a key part in the company’s innovation team by supporting all aspects of packaging development, providing technical expertise and support to manufacturing, and working with customers and suppliers to deliver the latest evolutions of packaging to the consumer.

As the only Packaging person within the group, this is a blend of hands-on packaging technologist responsibilities with strategic management of the packaging department. As such, this is an ideal role for someone to step into to develop their broader experience with the support of a highly experienced manager.

**Your Profile**:
A strong background in packaging technology is highly preferred for this role but we will also consider an experienced food technologist with some packaging development exposure. Critical to this role and to the business will be your personality and attitude to working within a collaborative team. Key preferences on background are:

- Relevant education such as Food or Packaging technology/engineering
- 5 years of packaging related experience in R&D/Operations or in NPD with some packaging exposure
- Experience in project management of complex projects involving packaging development
- Experience with various types of primary and secondary packaging
- Consumer focussed
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Self-starting with a passion for making things happen
- High levels of energy and commitment

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your career with an internationally renowned company that cares about its employee’s personal growth. So, if you have been stuck in a Packaging Technologist role waiting for your manager to move on then perhaps this is the opportunity you have been looking for.
