Job Description
We are looking for a Packaging Development Engineer to take ownership of packaging development across Orkla House Care’s product portfolio, covering both own-produced and purchased goods. Packaging plays a critical role in how our products are produced, transported, presented, and experienced by customers. It influences cost, quality, sustainability, and customer satisfaction across every market we operate in. This is a newly established role, offering a unique opportunity to shape how packaging supports our products and growth ambitions. Unlike many packaging roles, this position combines responsibility across packaging design, materials and supply chain performance, with influence spanning the full value chain. You will report to the Product & Innovation Director and be part of an international Product & Innovation team, collaborating across functions, sites and markets throughout the value chain. Your responsibilities include leading the development of packaging solutions, defining innovative concepts, driving material selection, improving recyclability, supporting manufacturing and logistics, ensuring performance through testing, acting as a subject matter expert, and owning specifications and documentation.
