Berry Global Internship 2027–2028: Programs, Deadlines & How to Apply

Last updated: September 2026

Berry Global generated $12.3 billion in revenue in fiscal 2024 and ran more than 295 facilities worldwide before it merged into Amcor in an all-stock deal completed April 30, 2025. The combined company employs about 70,000 people in roughly 140 countries, the largest consumer and healthcare packaging maker on the planet. But the Berry Global intern pipeline didn't disappear with the ticker: engineering, product development, supply chain, marketing, finance, and EH&S internships at the legacy Evansville, Indiana campus and US plants now post on amcor.com/careers, with summer 2027 roles expected in September or October 2026. You apply this fall, you intern in 2027.

Quick Facts

Berry Global internships now post under the Amcor brand. Summer 2027 roles are expected on amcor.com/careers in September–October 2026 and fill individually, some within weeks, so apply the week a matching role appears. Expect a 3.0 GPA floor, 10–12 weeks, and $20–$33/hr per Amcor's own 2027 posting.

So what do you do while the fall postings load? Berry Global's supply chain and marketing interns get judged on whether they can read an operation and explain it. Build that evidence with the Amazon Fulfillment Center Operational Strategy & People Analytics Externship for production and logistics thinking, or the TikTok Social Media Content & Brand Strategy Externship for the brand positioning skills a packaging marketing team wants. Both are short remote professional programs. Explore all Externships.

What Is a Berry Global Internship?

A Berry Global internship, now an Amcor internship at a legacy Berry site, puts you inside the manufacturing and commercial engine behind packaging for food, beverage, healthcare, personal care, and industrial products. Founded in 1967 as Berry Plastics, the company grew into a Fortune 500 firm with roughly 42,000 employees and historically ran more than 2,400 injection molding machines. Interns have worked in product development (proprietary product improvement, tooling quotes, prototypes), EH&S (site audits, 5S, risk assessments), supply chain planning, marketing, finance, and HR. The Evansville campus houses corporate functions and R&D; plant roles sit in places like Odon, Indiana and Erie, Pennsylvania. Glassdoor rates the legacy entity 3.4/5 across 1,189 reviews, and interviewees describe plant tours and a welcoming, learn-about-you approach.

When Do Berry Global Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?

So how does the calendar work after the merger? Berry Global historically posted intern roles in early-to-mid fall for the following summer, and nothing in Amcor's portal suggests a different cadence. Summer 2027 postings are expected in September or October 2026 with rolling review into early 2027, a lead time of about eight to ten months. The catch is that roles post one at a time and close individually, so the window for any given position can be short.

How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.

Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open

So why the rush if there's no deadline? Because there's no deadline. Berry Global (now Amcor) doesn't publish a cutoff, and none of the intern JDs reviewed contained a rolling-review statement either. What the data shows is a 19-day average from application to decision and roles that appear one at a time through the year rather than in a single wave. A posting that goes up in late September can be filled before Halloween. Apply inside the first week or two of any role that fits, and to more than one location if your major allows.

Which Berry Global Internship Programs Should You Target?

But which tracks actually exist? Ten have been documented across Amcor's portal, job boards, and Berry Global's own recruiting posts. Not all of them post every cycle.

And they all live in one place now: search intern roles at legacy Berry locations on Amcor's job search. The Product Development posting (REQ_94654) is a good model of what an Evansville JD looks like.

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

So who can apply? The confirmed JDs set a conventional manufacturing-internship bar.

• Enrollment: Accredited bachelor's or master's program in a related field

• GPA: 3.0 cumulative minimum, stated in the EH&S Intern JD; Product Development doesn't print a number

• Class year: Sophomore standing in good academic standing preferred (EH&S); Product Development lists sophomore through senior

• Work authorization: Ability to work in the US without current or future sponsorship, per multiple Berry Global intern JDs; CPT/OPT may qualify since the school authorizes it

• Commitment: Full-time (about 40 hours a week) for the internship period

• Preferred: Extracurricular participation and leadership roles (EH&S JD)

Does Berry Global (Amcor) Have a GPA Cutoff for Interns?

Yet only one JD says so out loud. The EH&S posting requires a 3.0, the Product Development posting doesn't mention GPA, and no marketing or finance JD with a printed number was found. Treat 3.0 as the practical floor for every track, since that's the recurring bar across manufacturing internships, and note that the EH&S JD lists leadership and extracurricular involvement as preferred alongside it. A 3.0 with plant, lab, or student-org leadership experience is competitive.

What Skills Does Berry Global Look For, and How Do You Build Them?

Across the four Berry Global and Amcor intern JDs reviewed, the universal asks are communication, organization, and problem-solving; three of four add self-motivation and team orientation. The functional layer splits by track: EH&S wants hazard identification and 5S, product development wants part drawings and prototype evaluation, supply chain wants scheduling. Manufacturing knowledge (injection molding, blow molding, extrusion) is the technical differentiator, and Amcor's recyclable and reusable packaging commitments are the commercial one.

Build These Skills Before You Apply

And the transferable half of that chart maps to a remote Externship.

Each Externship runs 4–11 weeks and ends with a deliverable. That matters here because Berry Global's interviews are short and practical, and a finished operations or brand project gives the hiring manager something concrete to ask about.

What Is the Berry Global Application and Interview Process Like?

So what does the process look like? Fast and practical. There's no evidence of an online assessment for intern roles, and Glassdoor's 106 interview reviews rate difficulty 2.65/5 with 69% positive.

1. Search and apply on amcor.com/careers/job-search. Filter for intern roles at legacy Berry sites. 61% of Glassdoor interviewees started with an online application; 10% came through campus recruiting.

2. Phone screen with a recruiter or HR (16% of reported processes).

3. One-on-one interview with the hiring manager at the facility (21%), often paired with a plant tour. One reviewer: they give a tour and focus on learning about you.

4. Skills test for some technical roles (10%), administered during the interview rather than as a pre-screen.

5. Offer, then drug test and background check. Expect two to four weeks end to end; the average is 19 days.

And the questions? Reported examples include "What is your design process?" and "Describe your ideal work day." Prepare STAR stories about teamwork and problem-solving, wear closed-toe shoes for the tour, and read up on the Amcor and Berry Global combination before you walk in.

What Students on Reddit Say

Reddit discussion of Berry Global internships is thin and scattered across local subreddits rather than r/internships. Threads were read from search previews, so each takeaway is paraphrased.

How Do You Stand Out at Berry Global?

First, apply through Amcor and say you know why. Berry Global no longer exists as an independent company; showing you understand the April 2025 combination, the roughly 70,000-person scale, and the $650 million synergy target reads as business awareness. Second, bring plastics knowledge if you have any. Injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, or thermoforming experience puts you ahead for engineering roles; for business tracks, understanding packaging's role in food safety and healthcare supply chains does the same. Third, talk sustainability specifically: recyclable and reusable packaging targets, recycled-content work, lightweight design. Fourth, use the Evansville network. University of Evansville, Purdue, Rose-Hulman, USI, and Indiana University are natural feeders, and 10% of Glassdoor interviewees came through campus recruiting. Finally, prepare for the tour: closed-toe shoes, questions about the production process, and a conversational interview rather than a technical grilling.

What Other Companies Should You Consider?

So who else should be on your list? Berry Global's true peers are packaging manufacturers, and a couple of adjacent materials companies that recruit the same engineering and supply chain interns.

FAQ

Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Berry Global internship?

No. The summer 2026 cohort ran May through August and has ended. Berry Global internships now post under the Amcor brand, and summer 2027 roles are expected on amcor.com/careers in September or October 2026. A few positions, such as EH&S and Product Development, post year-round, so check the portal now.

What happened to Berry Global?

It merged into Amcor. Berry Global completed an all-stock combination with Amcor plc on April 30, 2025 and no longer exists as an independent public company. Its Evansville, Indiana campus and US plants keep operating inside Amcor's network, and all Berry Global internship postings now live on Amcor's careers portal.

When do Berry Global (Amcor) internship applications open for summer 2027?

Expected September to October 2026, about eight to ten months before the start date, based on Berry Global's historical fall posting pattern. An Amcor Financial Analyst Intern posting for summer 2027 was already live in August 2026. Roles post individually and fill fast, so set alerts and apply within the first week.

What GPA do you need for a Berry Global internship?

3.0 on a 4.0 scale is the practical floor. The EH&S Intern JD requires it outright, while the Product Development posting doesn't print a number. Leadership roles and extracurricular involvement are listed as preferred qualifications alongside GPA, so a 3.0 with real plant or leadership experience is competitive.

Does Berry Global (Amcor) sponsor visas for interns?

No. Berry Global intern JDs state that candidates must be able to work in the US without current or future need of sponsorship. Students on CPT or OPT may qualify because the school issues that authorization. For full-time roles, Berry Global filed three approved H-1B LCAs in FY2026, so sponsorship exists but is rare.

How much do Berry Global interns get paid?

About $20 to $33 per hour, the range printed on an Amcor Financial Analyst Intern posting for summer 2027. Indeed reports roughly $23.60 per hour for Berry Global interns. Glassdoor's ~$35 per hour figure is an aggregate estimate that may include senior or non-US data. Engineering roles tend toward the higher end.

Where are Berry Global internships located?

Mostly Evansville, Indiana, the legacy headquarters campus that houses engineering, product development, supply chain, marketing, and finance. Plant-based roles have appeared in Odon IN, Baltimore MD, Monroe NJ, Lawrence KS, and Erie PA. Berry Global operated 77 or more US locations before the merger, all now listed under Amcor.

What is the Berry Global interview process like?

Short and conversational. Glassdoor's 106 reviews show an average of 19 days from application to decision and a 2.65 out of 5 difficulty. Expect a phone screen, a one-on-one with the hiring manager, and often a plant tour. About 13% report a drug test and 12% a background check.

So don't wait for a deadline that isn't coming. Berry Global's summer 2027 roles will post on Amcor's portal one at a time this fall and fill in weeks, and the interview is a 19-day sprint. Set the alert today, apply the week your role appears, and use the wait to finish an operations or brand project with a short remote Externship. Give the hiring manager something to ask about on the plant tour. Explore all Externships.
