Packaging All-Star (Engineer/Analyst/Designer/Leader)
Jul 9, 2025
- 30-year packaging vet who brings a combination of skills including Technical Sales Engineer, NPD Project Leader, Product Cost and Profitability Guru, and Senior Design Engineer.
- He is a critical partner to the Commercial Operations team – coming alongside sales, NPD, and service teams to provide analysis of the numbers, insights into design for manufacturing, and more. He has excellent project oversight abilities, especially given his career path. He started out as a Drafter, shifted to Designer (products and tools), and then to Project Engineer and Project Leader.
- What is his why? Same story, different day: business shifted, and he was impacted – after 20 years with that company! Since then, he’s bounced around with a couple of organizations the past couple of years – a little bit of volatility that just doesn’t suit him – and is looking for a long-term fit.
- As I’ve already mentioned, titles are tough to pin on him. If you need a customer-facing Sales Engineer who brings a strong ability to understand all the business financials to ensure profitability on new products (including in the med device packaging world) and who can also manage a high number of projects, then this is your guy. Or if you just need a Senior Designer, he fits that role as well!
- The challenge is that he is not able to relocate. He’s located in the larger Chicagoland area, so anything in that area would work if you need someone on site. More than likely, he’s looking for a remote role, having done that in the past and is able to handle it.
- If you need this kind of broad, product-focused Engineer/Analyst/Designer/Leader, please give me a call! I’d love to put you together!
