Job description

Structural Packaging Designer

Fixed Term – Maternity Cover - 1 year

Location: NORFOLK or LINCOLNSHIRE or LEEDS

Hybrid working available

Start: February / March 2026

End: February / March 2027

We’re looking for a hands-on Structural Packaging Designer to take on a fixed-term maternity cover. This is a group role working across multiple brands, focused purely on 3D structural design — how packaging is built, performs, and lands on the shelf and your portfolio

A true end-to-end role, you’ll take concepts from first idea through to factory-ready execution, balancing creativity with technical and commercial reality. Expect to spend most of your time in CAD (Esko ideal), refining structures, solving problems, and making designs production-ready.


What you’ll be doing

  • Designing 3D structural packaging, mainly in CAD (around 80–90%)
  • Taking packaging from concept through to production
  • Creating and refining folded cartons and corrugated structures
  • Working closely with factories, suppliers, and internal teams
  • Improving existing packaging as well as developing new concepts
  • Producing samples for internal teams, sales, and PR
  • Keeping on top of trends through site visits, trade shows, and comp shops


What we’re looking for

  • Strong hands-on CAD experience (Esko systems)
  • FMCG or food manufacturing experience
  • Solid structural packaging experience (not graphic design)
  • Good understanding of print conversion, tooling, and manufacturing limits
  • Comfortable designing for machinery and hand-packing
  • Organised, practical, and confident juggling multiple projects
  • A portfolio showing recent structural packaging work


For consideration, please send me your CV and full portfolio!
