Job description
Do you want to be part of one of HQ Pack’s most innovative and sustainable business units? Our Service Center handles all reusable packaging that returns from our customers. Every week, thousands of high-tech packaging solutions come back to us to be inspected, repaired, upgraded, and prepared for their next life cycle. This process is essential for reducing waste, extending product life, and supporting a circular supply chain.
As a Manufacturing Engineer in the Service Center, you play a key role in shaping and optimizing this reusable flow. A significant part of your job will involve work preparation and work planning — ensuring that incoming reusable packaging is handled efficiently, cost-effectively, and with consistent quality.
This is a dynamic environment where sustainability, process improvement, and technical problem-solving come together. You’ll help build new standards, improve existing repair methods, and contribute to the continuous development of a process that is still growing and evolving. Your impact is immediate — and highly visible.
Your Responsibilities
- Review incoming reusable packaging and translate technical documentation into clear, executable work instructions
- Prepare and maintain top-level articles and repair flows in the ERP system
- Define the optimal repair or refurbishment sequence based on condition, manufacturability, and cost
- Support production with technical troubleshooting and hands-on problem analysis
- Handle RFQs and cost estimates related to repair and reuse flows
- Improve and standardize repair methods, inspection processes, and documentation
- Identify opportunities for efficiency, sustainability, and process optimization
- Contribute to projects that further develop our circular packaging model

At HQ Pack, our strength lies in our people. We believe that innovation thrives in a flat, open culture where the best ideas win—not job titles. We combine the resources of a multinational with the close-knit atmosphere of a family business, creating a workplace where everyone is valued and heard.
Our Service Center Engineering team plays a key role in optimizing processes and coordinating work within the service Center. We work in an open and collaborative environment, where focus and fun go hand in hand. You’ll find team members who are dedicated to their craft, always ready to help each other, and never short on a good joke or a shared snack!
Want to be part of a team where your ideas matter and teamwork comes first? Join us at HQ Pack!

Working at HQ Pack means being part of a strongly growing worldwide operating organization called HQ Group.
