Your Job
Are you a self-starter that is passionate about combining your technical skills and business acumen to build ideas that improve the products consumers use and the processes that make them? At Georgia-Pacific, we share your enthusiasm for pushing boundaries, challenging convention, and pushing to always find a better way.
Georgia-Pacific is seeking a Papermaking Process Technology Developer to identify new opportunities, conduct experimental evaluations in a bench and pilot setting, and scale-up commercially to assess full-scale feasibility.

Hybrid work options will be considered, and work location flexibility is encouraged. You'll be required to be in Neenah ~50% of the time, an average of 25% travel (0-2 weeks a month), with the balance available to work from home or corporate location of your choice.
What You Will Do
