An international manufacturer of high-performance packaging solutions is seeking a Field Service Engineer to support customers across the food manufacturing sector.
With significant investment into Australian manufacturing operations and continued global expansion, the business is looking to strengthen its Applications team to support both existing customers and future growth.
About the role
This role acts as the technical bridge between customers and the commercial team, ensuring packaging solutions perform effectively within customer production environments. You'll work closely with food manufacturers to support product implementation, troubleshoot packaging issues, conduct site audits, and provide hands‐on technical expertise that supports customer retention and business growth.
This is a highly autonomous role suited to someone who enjoys travelling, working directly with customers onsite, and solving technical and operational challenges within food manufacturing environments.
