Packaging Engineer

You’re perfect for Quooker because you…

• are stronger through collaboration and able to communicate effectively at different levels.

• bring positive drive while maintaining oversight in dynamic projects.

• combine a solution-oriented mindset with the ability to persuade others while remaining open to feedback.

As a Packaging Engineer, you play a key role in developing innovative and sustainable packaging solutions that are both technically robust and perfectly aligned with our brand identity. You stay on top of the latest developments in packaging, sustainability and legislation, and translate these into concrete, future-proof solutions. From drafting requirements and creating designs to testing and implementing packaging concepts, you are involved throughout the entire process. You collaborate closely with design teams, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to ensure every solution not only meets functional and brand expectations but also complies with all relevant safety and environmental regulations.

In this position, no two days are the same. One moment you may be contributing to the long-term development of packaging for a brand-new product. The next, you might be improving an existing package to make it more sustainable, optimizing it for transport efficiency, reducing costs, or enhancing production performance.

In this role, you combine creativity with technical expertise to make a real impact—on our products, our brand, and the world around us.

What can you expect from us?

• A culture where you are at the center, because we’re not afraid to show appreciation and give feedback, so you always know where you stand.

• We invest in your development through training programs and tailored coaching.

• Hybrid working means 4 days at our office in Ridderkerk and 1 day from home.

• A unique work environment where you see your ideas come to life in practice.

• Working with a sustainable product and recycling old products (tip: check out the Op Stoom podcast episode about our challenges in circularity).

• Fresh fruit every day and healthy, affordable bites in our company restaurant.

• Drinks, outings, and parties to enjoy together.

• A vitality program and a sports allowance of €25 per month.

• 27 vacation days, plus the option to buy 10 extra days each year to help you stay energized.

• A great employee discount so you can experience the convenience of a Quooker at home.
