Job Description:

We are seeking a Packaging Engineer with strong experience in luxury retail packaging, sustainability compliance, and operational environments to own and drive the end-to-end redesign/enhancement of our packaging portfolio. The primary focus will be GNFR packaging, with support to GFR packaging where required. The role exists to improve customer experience through better packaging design, while delivering measurable sustainability outcomes, enhancing operational efficiency (particularly within the Distribution Centre), and supporting with regulatory costs associated with UK Packaging EPR and RAM obligations. 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
  • A range of opportunities to develop and grow personally and professionally
  • Excellent pension scheme
