Global packaging manufacturer with 19,000+ employees across 34 countries

Sonoco operates a sprawling manufacturing network built on a mixed industrial-control and enterprise-software stack: Ignition SCADA, Siemens/Allen-Bradley PLCs, Salesforce, Oracle Cloud Finance, and Coupa. Active hiring is heavily weighted toward manufacturing (172 roles) and engineering (44), with a long tail of ops, finance, and logistics roles across 15 countries — reflecting both steady-state production scaling and ongoing consolidation efforts. The pain-point cluster (SCADA data efficiency, equipment downtime, ERP harmonization, financial consolidation) and project list (system transformation, global consolidation, maintenance excellence) signal a mid-cycle operational modernization push rather than product innovation.
