Mining Engineering Intern

May - August 2019 • Grand Rivers, KY

What I liked

I was able to rotate through all the different departments. I loved that I got exposed to all different aspects and wasn't stuck driving a haul truck all summer.

What I wish was different

I wish I had gotten a bit more time working with management.

Advice

Take everything with a grain of salt. Just because you might be doing something as an intern that you would never do once you were a fulltime employee doesn't mean you cant learn something that might be useful in the future.

Ready Mix Operations Intern

What I liked

The pay and people were amazing.

What I wish was different

A more organized internship program to actually learn all the aspects that go into the ready mix operations more in depth.

They don’t have a set organized program, so when you’re around those knowledgeable of the product, ask a lot of questions to learn anything.
