We’re looking for a Project Engineering Manager to join our high performing team in the UK & Ireland Packaging Division.

Together, you will carry out risk analysis, involve key stakeholders and ensure that each potential risk factor is evaluated, fully understood, with action plans put in place to mitigate against any risks. You will ensure that all new investments are aligned with our Group Policies, and conduct reference visits and pre & post installation assessments to verify.
