  • Supporting packaging supplier and co-packer audits
  • Driving sustainability and value engineering initiatives across the packaging supply chain
  • Troubleshooting packaging complaints and identifying performance improvements at co-packer sites

What You’ll Bring :

  • Minimum 4 years experience in packaging technology, ideally within the beverage industry
  • Knowledge of packaging validation, specification management, and sustainability practices
  • A natural problem solver, able to understand how components should work together
  • Strong communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills

  • Solid organisational skills and the ability to work independently
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Project, Outlook)
  • Email : nathan.collinson@advocate-group.co.uk
