Job Description:

Senior Project Engineer

Accelerator, a global Division of Mars Snacking, is on the front line of unlocking growth across high-potential categories and brands to fuel what’s next for Snacking. It’s home to both emerging and enduring brands, including KIND, trü frü, Nature’s Bakery, RXBAR, Eggo, Pop-Tarts, and Rice Krispies Treats. Combining the scale of Mars with the agility of a start-up, our Division has the ambition to accelerate the future of snacking by delivering products consumers love today, discovering category-shaping innovations for tomorrow, and developing entrepreneurial teams whose impact will last for generations.

As a Senior Project Engineer, you will be a vital technical leader driving the design, installation, and end-to-end execution of capital and engineering projects that give our brands a competitive edge. Embedded directly within our site technical and engineering communities, you will combine hands-on technical mastery with strategic project ownership—turning bold ideas into high-impact operational realities.

We’re looking for passionate talent who dare to dream big, agile collaborators who talk straight and decide fast, and driven performers with a growth mindset. If you want to do cool things with fun people while making a lasting operational impact, you’ve found the right place!

What are we looking for?

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Experience: 5–10 years of proven experience in a comparable technical engineering role (food, beverage, pharmaceutical, or CPG industry preferred).
  • Technical Expertise: In-depth understanding of a designated functional engineering domain—specifically Process or Packaging.
  • Engineering Acumen: Strong proficiency across core engineering and capital project fundamentals (Process, Packaging, Electrical, Controls, or Construction Management).
  • Project Leadership: Demonstrated track record of driving cross-functional projects from conceptual design through commissioning and handover.
  • Nice-to-Have: Familiarity with high-growth, fast-paced manufacturing environments or start-up-style operational agility.

What will be your key responsibilities?

  • Project Leadership & Execution: Lead and manage end-to-end engineering projects, ensuring safe, secure, on-time, and environmentally responsible execution.
  • Technical Ownership: Deploy deep functional expertise (Process/Packaging) to deliver high-quality technical solutions that provide a tangible competitive advantage.
  • Team Collaboration & Engagement: Partner closely with cross-functional project teams, site technical staff, and local engineering communities, empowering members to proactively deliver milestones.
  • Safety & Compliance: Champion a safety-first culture by complying with and reinforcing all site safety, security, quality, and environmental standards.
  • Culture & Capability Building: Foster an environment built on trust, transparency, and accountability while actively driving personal technical growth and mentoring peers.

What can you expect from Mars?

  • Work with diverse and talented Associates, all guided by the Five Principles.
  • Join a purpose-driven company where we’re striving to build the world we want tomorrow, today.
  • Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
