Acting as the internal technical expert for packaging, this role will translate legislation, material innovation, and engineering best practice into practical, implementable packaging solutions.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead the EPR and RAM compliance agenda for packaging
  • Drive improvements in RAM outcomes through packaging redesign, material selection, and specification changes
  • Translate EPR and RAM requirements into practical, engineering led packaging solutions
  • Own, or co-own with Sustainability and Finance, the EPR exposure model
  • Act as the central technical point of contact for external partners
  • Lead the optimisation of GNFR and support GFR packaging through redesign, material choice, and specification control
  • Develop and govern fit for purpose packaging specifications
  • Evaluate and trial alternative materials and formats
  • Lead cross functional delivery of packaging changes
  • Own and improve packaging data, specifications, and governance
  • Research, test, and implement new packaging materials and formats
  • Work closely with DC, Logistics, and Ecommerce teams to ensure packaging is DC friendly
  • Support the rollout of rightsized, right strength packaging solutions for ecommerce, hampers, and transit

Requirements

  • Commercially minded and entrepreneurial, with the ability to identify opportunities, build business cases, and convert sustainability requirements into cost, risk, and operational outcomes
  • Bachelor’s degree in Packaging Engineering, Materials Science, Sustainability, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
  • 3–5 years’ experience in packaging design within a retail, FMCG, or complex supply chain environment
  • Strong working knowledge of packaging materials, formats, and specifications, with the ability to assess trade-offs between sustainability, cost, performance, and customer experience
  • Proven experience working with regulatory and compliance requirements, including packaging legislation, testing procedures, and global shipping requirements
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with high attention to detail and the ability to prioritise high risk and high impact issues
  • Able to work independently and cross functionally, influencing stakeholders across Procurement, Sustainability, Logistics, Design, and external suppliers without direct authority
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, capable of engaging both technical and nontechnical audiences

Nice to have

  • Strong analytical capability, with confidence working with packaging data, cost models, and regulatory impact assessments
  • Practical experience with UK Packaging EPR, PRNs, fee exposure, or RAM style recyclability assessments (or equivalent EU frameworks)
  • Experience partnering with Logistics or DC operations to reduce packaging related damage, waste, or inefficiency
  • Experience mobilising suppliers to deliver packaging data, specification changes, or material transitions at pace
  • Exposure to packaging cost reduction or specification rationalisation programmes across GNFR and/or GFR categories

What we offer

  • Competitive salary
  • A generous store and restaurant discount of up to 40%
  • 25 days holidays (excluded bank holidays) and an extra day off for your birthday
  • A fantastic subsidised staff restaurant which uses Fortnum’s ingredients
