The roles require practical thinking around all aspects of engineered solutions.  If your career has taken you to a “hands-off” team leadership role or if that is what you want your next assignment to be, you are not the right candidate for this job.

• Must have legal permission to work in the U.S. and have a valid passport.

In addition to a competitive salary and benefits package, the position offers an opportunity to work in the following culture:

• 40 hour work weeks, 8-5 (Office cleared out by 6 PM)
• Any weekend work gets the employee a comp day
• Progressive vacation plan
• No working from home offices
• An intelligent team of employees
• Global mindset, global travel

Upon joining the team you could find yourself working on patentable technologies and providing a comprehensive solution to improve the quality of high-risk packaged products.  The solutions are delivered to sites globally and travel to new and unique places is a positive aspect of this job.  No two days are the same, and our client is seeking someone that deeply appreciates the dynamic aspect of this role.
