Job description
Innovation Engineer - Sustainable Fiber E-Commerce
Turn ideas into scalable, sustainable packaging solutions.
At ProAmpac, innovation is more than developing a new product. It's understanding what customers will need next, exploring what's possible, and turning promising ideas into solutions that can perform at scale.
We're looking for an Innovation Engineer - Sustainable Fiber E-Commerce to help shape the next generation of sustainable fiber-based packaging solutions. This is a hands-on innovation and R&D role for an engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, experimenting with new technologies, collaborating across disciplines, and taking ideas from early concept through testing, equipment integration, production, and customer adoption.
You'll work at the intersection of product innovation, materials, equipment, manufacturing, and customer needs, partnering with our materials experts, operations teams, commercial leaders, product management, and customers to develop solutions that support both sustainability and business growth.
Packaging experience is preferred, particularly within fiber, paper, flexible packaging, or related materials. We're also interested in accomplished product development and innovation engineers from consumer goods and advanced manufacturing environments who bring the right combination of curiosity, technical depth, and commercialization experience.
What You'll Do
Drive customer-led innovation
What You Bring
The Engineer Who Will Thrive Here
You may be a great fit if you're the engineer who asks "What if we tried this?" and then has the technical discipline to determine whether it will actually work.
You enjoy being close to the product, the equipment, the customer, and the manufacturing floor. You can move comfortably between an early-stage concept discussion and a production trial. And while you love innovation, you understand that a great idea only creates value when it can be manufactured reliably, perform for the customer, and deliver meaningful business results.
If you're ready to help develop what's next in sustainable e-commerce packaging, we'd like to hear from you!
