• Coordinating availability and testing of can and end samples for evaluations, ensuring timely reporting and recommendations.
• Conducting audits of customer facilities to identify opportunities for efficiency, safety, and quality improvements.

• Collaborating with Ball’s manufacturing, sales, and quality teams to ensure alignment on customer specifications, standards, and trial results.
• Supporting the introduction of new customers, products, and production lines through technical validation and data-driven feedback.
• Preparing and maintaining detailed reports, documentation, and communication for internal and customer stakeholders.

• Knowledge of quality systems, Lean Six Sigma, or statistical analysis tools is desirable.
• Strong analytical mindset with excellent organizational and problem-solving skills.
