Help Us Build the Future of Fulfillment at Sunday Natural

We are Sunday Natural, and the purest quality of our products is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re building our own GMP manufacturing facility in Gorzów — to guarantee the exceptional standards our customers trust us for. With over 1,500 premium wellness products and a thriving direct-to-consumer model, we’re on a mission to bring health and well-being to millions across Europe — sustainably, reliably, and with outstanding service.

As we enter our next phase of growth, we’re looking for an experienced Senior Project Engineer (all genders) to take full ownership of managing the build of our new manufacturing site in Gorzów, Poland, from the ground up. This role is a rare opportunity to shape a state-of-the-art production facility, embed world-class food safety and quality standards, and deliver a site that will scale our impact for years to come.

If you thrive on building from zero, own the details, and take pride in turning a blueprint into a reliable, first-class plant, we’d love to meet you.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the full project lifecycle for a GMP manufacturing facility: you will drive the process from concept development, CAPEX planning, and supplier tendering to construction, commissioning, and operational handover. You ensure every deliverable meets the highest standards of food-grade safety and quality, in line with local building codes and hygiene regulations.
• Drive safety, compliance, and food-grade excellence: embed GMP and environmental regulations into every stage—from design to commissioning—ensuring the plant consistently meets regulatory and corporate quality benchmarks.
• Own the project budget and timeline: craft realistic project timelines, track cash flow, forecast cost-to-completion, identify risks early, and propose mitigation plans to leadership.
• Lead cross-functional execution teams: guide multidisciplinary internal & external teams—including contractors, suppliers, and validation experts—through documentation milestones, equipment spec reviews, qualification plans, and commissioning workshops.
• Be the link between site and senior leadership: organize and drive regular project updates, steering meetings, status reports, and risk reviews with executive stakeholders—ensuring transparency and alignment across the organization.
• Ensure flawless handover and readiness for operations: coordinate validation/commissioning, operational training, and ongoing maintenance handover, ensuring the site delivers its intended capacity reliably from Day One.

Your profile

• 10+ years in project or capital engineering roles in the food, supplement, or regulated manufacturing sector (pharma, FMCG).
• Strong track record of leading ground-up site builds or greenfield facilities.
• Deep experience in equipment, utility design, contractor management, and GMP compliance.
• Skilled in budgeting, schedules, risk, and stakeholder alignment — you speak “engineering, operations, and commercial” fluently.
• Track record of bringing projects in on time, safe, and aligned with quality objectives.
• Hands-on tools experience with scheduling and budget software, CAD reviews, commissioning validation, and project documentation.
• Language Skills: Very good command of Polish & English (C1 working proficiency)

About Us

Sunday Natural emerged from a long-standing passion and research in the fields of health, healing, and personal growth. The lack of natural, high-quality products on the market was the original motivation for founding Sunday Natural in 2013. We aim to produce the products we ourselves would love to buy – as natural as possible, absolutely pure, free from any additives, and of the highest quality. In a strategic partnership with CVC, Sunday Natural is now one of Germany-s most renowned quality manufacturers, with its own research and development department in Berlin. For the continuous improvement of our products, we collaborate with selected research institutes, scientists, therapists, farmers, and professional associations.

We take our ecological responsibility very seriously: that’s why the majority of our product range is vegan. We also take an innovative approach to packaging: most of our products are packaged in glass, making them almost entirely recyclable.

Our diverse team in Berlin consists of over 290 employees from more than 40 nationalities and continues to grow – but at a sustainable pace. Our goal is to foster a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive work environment with a diverse group of motivated, talented, and visionary team members.

We highly value equality of opportunity and inclusivity, and we would like to particularly encourage women and candidates from under-represented backgrounds to apply, even if you don’t match with 100% of the requirements.
