About us:

We are the leading provider of packaging solutions and Europe’s biggest recycler.

That’s where you come in; every person at DS Smith plays a part in helping us reduce that carbon footprint.

About the programme

This is a technical role and you will be analytical to understand data and trends and identify opportunities and best practices that can be shared across our manufacturing sites.

Alongside the role specific skills you’ll develop, you’ll be in a cohort of graduates and together we’ll offer you a world class development programme which will support you in becoming one of our future leaders.
