Silgan IPEC Engineering Internship

Silgan IPEC supplies hundreds of customers from prominent fluid milk processors and water and juice bottlers to smaller family-owned operations. Our primary business is divided into four main industry segments: dairy, water, juice and custom-design. We have built our Company from our Technical Service Team to our Customer Service Department to have specialized knowledge in these segments in order to address most effectively our customer demands.

Proposed internship project goals, objectives, outcomes:      Assigned work and projects will be completed under the direction of the Plant QA Manager through interaction with plant employees and plant management.  The primary objectives are associated with the reduction of process non-conformances, customer complaints and product returns, however, this position will also provide support in preparing the plant for SQF (Safe Quality Food) code compliance through involvement on the HACCP/Food Safety team.
