Manager, Plant Quality Assurance
About the role
Ball is a global leader in sustainable aluminum packaging and one of the world’s most respected manufacturing organizations. Leaders have the opportunity to influence large-scale operations, develop high-performing teams, and build meaningful careers in an organization committed to operational excellence, innovation, sustainability, and people development.

- Analyze quality data and implement continuous improvement initiatives.
- Partner with production and cross-functional teams to improve processes and product quality.

- Champion a strong culture of safety, quality, and employee engagement.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree preferred.
- 4+ years of quality experience in a manufacturing environment.
- Experience with GMP, HACCP, SQF, ISO, FSSC, or related quality systems preferred.
- Strong leadership, problem-solving, communication, and analytical skills.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
