APCO, Inc.

Assistant Integrator

June 2015 - September 2019 • North Salt Lake, UT

What I liked

APCO is a phenominal engineering company. The company specialize in automating and optimizing large scale systems for refineries and water treatment, however the company also works in other areas when called upon. Their true specialty is in controlling processes. They have the best culture I've ever seen. They give an unbelievable amount of trust to interns and junior engineers, and have a strong culture of mentorship. Any door is open anytime to anyone. The owner took hours from his schedule regularly to talk with me and teach me. They pay well, conduct business with integrity, and love their employees.

What I wish was different

I wish I was more interested in what they did, it just wasn't for me. I loved the experience so much I was tempted to work in this field just so I could continue with the company.

Advice

Personal networking is the way to get internships, and as you're getting your degree make sure that you are also building a flawless professional character. APCO was willing to anything for me because they knew that they could trust me completely.
