  • Mars Wrigley the home of our most loved brands including Skittles, Snickers, ECLIPSE and Maltesers
  • Permanent full time role based onsite Ballarat + free parking

At Mars Wrigley, home to iconic brands like Skittles, Snickers, ECLIPSE and Maltesers, we're on the lookout for a passionate and hands-on Project Engineer to help us shape the future of manufacturing across Australia.

  • Collaborate across functions to secure resources, align stakeholders, and solve technical challenges

  • Be part of a supportive, high-performing team that values culture, learning and continuous improvement
  • Minimal travel may be required to our other manufacturing facility in Asquith.

What We're Looking For

  • We're looking for someone who's as passionate about engineering as they are about making a real difference:
  • Degree-qualified in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or related)
  • 3+ years' experience in engineering roles, ideally within food or FMCG environments (but not essential)
  • Strong project management skills with a focus on results
  • Effective communicator and confident stakeholder manager
  • A problem-solver with a growth mindset and a love for learning
  • Recent graduates with learning agility are also encouraged to apply

What can you expect from Mars?

  • Access to our in-house Mars University
  • Global health and wellbeing program to support flexibility and work-life balance
  • Opportunity to make a difference with our volunteer programs
  • Be part of a company that is contributing to making the world a better place today and every day through on our sustainable generation plan
  • A culture that offers collaboration, leadership and rewards you for the role you play within Mars
