Senior Packaging Engineer
Food & Beverage Manufacturing
Location: Milwaukee, WI
Salary: $90,000 - $110,000
Ever felt boxed in by packaging roles that don’t go beyond the plant walls? What if you could own the entire packaging strategy - across multiple facilities, product lines, and innovation streams?
This is that kind of role.
One where packaging isn't an afterthought. It's front and center. It’s the thing that connects engineering, design, sustainability, compliance, R&D, and consumer experience - across three major facilities, coast to coast.
And it’s yours to lead.
Here’s the deal:
This Senior Packaging Engineer will report directly into the VP of R&D and take full ownership of packaging strategy across every site and every product line for a growing food and beverage manufacturer.
You won’t just tweak existing specs or fill out forms. You’ll design, develop, test, and launch packaging that works—for the product, for the consumer, and for the bottom line. From sourcing materials and coordinating suppliers to overseeing functionality and durability testing, this is an enterprise-level role where your decisions shape how products show up in the real world.
Why now?
Because they’re scaling, and evolving. From cold-chain optimization to sustainability initiatives and retailer demands, packaging is no longer just about cost. It’s about brand integrity, performance, shelf life, and staying ahead of shifting market and regulatory expectations.
This business gets that. Which is why this role was created as a strategic, enterprise-wide function. You’ll be at the intersection of R&D, production, supplier partnerships, and customer experience. You’ll bring structure to chaos, elevate standards, and deliver packaging that actually performs - without constant firefighting.
You, ideally:
If you’ve outgrown being the “packaging person” and want to become the packaging leader—this is it.
