Applies specialized knowledge of engineering principles and practices across various areas and projects in the design, analysis and release of packaging and container systems through the product life cycle.
Works cross-functionally and with customers and suppliers to specify design requirements for expendable and returnable packaging and containers for new finished products and raw material components.
Works cross-functionally and with customers and suppliers to identify and deliver improvements to packaging, quality, total cost, and waste, in line with organizational goals.
Defines returnable container fleet size through cross-functional collaboration, considering logistics and inventory stocking level inputs.
Develops site-specific packaging requirements aligned with Cummins Global Packaging Standards, safety, storage racking, line side presentation needs, and equipment.
Works cross-functionally to ensure supplier conformance to packaging standards and other regulatory requirements for inbound and outbound shipments.
Supports Indirect Purchasing in packaging procurement initiatives.
Drives consistent results by applying business acumen in decision making and cost-based analysis.
Actively seeks new ways to grow and be challenged using both formal and informal development channels.
Industrial Packaging Design - Develops primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging designs for industrial products through the application of engineering techniques to ensure product protection for all touch points of an end to end supply chain.
Packaging Material Knowledge - Demonstrates the benefits of using different packaging mediums by articulating their physical properties, types and characteristics to select the packaging materials for the application, product protection, cost and impact on the environment.
Packaging Testing - Evaluates performance validation tests, standards and reports to distinguish which method to apply; interprets test reports and draws conclusions in order to ensure packaging performance meets transit and handling conditions through end to end supply chain.
Problem Solving - Solves problems and may mentor others on effective problem solving by using a systematic analysis process by leveraging industry standard methodologies to create problem traceability and protect the customer; determines the assignable cause; implements robust, data-based solutions; identifies the systemic root causes and ensures actions to prevent problem reoccurrence are implemented.
Environmentally Sustainable Packaging Principles - Outlines the environmentally sustainable packaging material selection and its life cycle impact by describing selection criteria, performance considerations and application in designing order to achieve the goal to reduce, reuse, recycle or reclaim.
3-5 years of Packaging Engineering or related experience is required
A Senior Packaging Engineer takes ownership of complex packaging projects and problems from start to finish. They understand the business need, develop the right packaging solution, manage risks and timelines, and bring together suppliers and other functions to get the work delivered.
They are expected to work independently, make sound engineering decisions and take accountability for the outcome, rather than relying on their manager to drive the project.
They also use their experience to spot opportunities to improve cost, quality, safety, sustainability and standardisation, while providing technical guidance and support to other engineers and technicians.
In simple terms, they are someone you can give a packaging problem or business need to and trust them to work out what needs to happen and drive it through to completion.
