Job description

Is this you?

  • Do you instinctively open PLC ladder logic when a line trips and can navigate Allen Bradley plus another platform (Mitsubishi, Schneider, GE, or Opto 22)?
  • Can you trace a fault from an HMI alarm through AC vector / servo drives to a sensor’s sinking / sourcing configuration?
  • Are you comfortable calibrating instruments, interpreting schematics, and coaching electricians — all while driving a zero‑incident EHS mindset?

Who we are

Now part of Novolex, Pactiv Evergreen helps lead the food, beverage, and specialty packaging space, supporting foodservice, delivery and carryout, processing, grocery / retail, and industrial customers. Our North American and European manufacturing network — including two plastic film recycling centers — is backed by continuous R&D focused on more sustainable options. Learn more at www.novolex.com.

How we show up in our communities

Our Social Responsibility platform is employee‑led and action‑oriented : matching gifts, local grants, and a Company‑wide Month of Action empower teams to support nonprofits that matter to them. That’s how we live our purpose of Packaging a Better Future.
