Role Objectives: Working directly with MBO Creative Services teams and you will provide solutions relating to the development of product and Point of Sale (POS) packaging across the entire range of Moose products from concept and costing through to manufacture.
The role will require you to ensure product appeal and integrity under varying shipping and display conditions. This will include cost estimation, testing and analysis, materials and process selection for packaging based on manufacturability, durability, performance and price, while always pushing the boundaries of innovation and design.
You will work closely with Structural Packaging Engineers in MBO Creative Service team along with Product Design, Art Directors and Project Management teams to develop new packaging solutions that:
• Meet product integrity specifications
• Provide innovative design and engineering POP solutions
• Support to deliver “Frustration Free” and environmentally conscious packaging solutions
• Are feasible and cost efficient to manufacture
• Satisfy the design intent
• Provide innovative design and engineering packaging solutions
• Meet the required schedule
Responsibilities:
• Prepare and maintain product specification for all In- Store Display units, including FSDU, Shelf Ready PDQ, Sidekick, Endcap, and Shelf Pallets
• Contribute to the development of “Frustration Free Packaging”
• Work to develop packaging guidelines in line with APC regulations
• Design and creation of inside packaging components, including blisters and component layout
• Interface with manufacturers to resolve technical issues that may arise in manufacturing and to improve cost and quality of designs
• Research and present new package design trends, technologies, materials, and manufacturing processes.
• Analyse packaging designs to optimise the utilization of materials as well as manufacturing, assembly methods and production processes in order to meet cost objectives, quality and transit testing specifications
• Build and maintain packaging library and ensure all conceptual packaging concepts, approved packaging die- lines and blister specs are documented and filed future use
• Develop and check technical documentation, engineering drawings and assembly diagrams to ensure that necessary information for manufacturing and assembly is clearly communicated
• In collaboration with the Design team, assist in the further development of packaging solutions from approved concept through to production with a focus on innovation
• Creation of "Product Packing Instructions" documents to clearly communicate internally to the Global organisation and externally with production partners.
• Provide training to other personnel to improve overall capabilities and knowledge
• Provide packaging design and engineering direction and technical support to the product development team, including guidance regarding concept feasibility, cost considerations, general product manufacturing and assembly recommendations
• Design from concept to production including engineering analysis, testing, design, tooling recommendations, prototype build, safety approvals and product integration
• Work with the Design team to prepare cost estimates on packaging and printing options during concept development while ensuring all packaging dimensions are estimated accurately to enable retail partners to set planograms
• Ensure packaging concepts are feasible in large scale manufacturing environment and are delivered within budget
• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments and continual improvement planning
