Packaging Development Engineer

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.

Your responsibilities:

• Lead the development of packaging solutions across Orkla House Care's product portfolio, from concept to implementation.
• Define innovative packaging concepts and structures that support both product and business needs.
• Drive material selection, development and specification in close collaboration with suppliers and our packaging procurement team.
• Identify new material opportunities and lead initiatives that improve recyclability and support compliance with packaging sustainability requirements (e.g., PPWR, EPR).
• Develop packaging solutions that support efficient manufacturing, logistics and product handling.
• Ensure packaging performance through testing, validation and continuous improvement.
• Act as the packaging subject matter expert in development projects.
• Own packaging specifications, drawings, bill of materials and related documentation.
