Industrial Engineering Internship

The Industrial Engineering Internship will begin in June and end in December 2027.

What You’ll Do and Learn 

Put your engineering skills into action as an Industrial Engineer Intern! You’ll gain hands-on experience supporting material handling and storage systems, process flow analysis, engineered labor standards, equipment projects, and quantitative analysis within Operations. You’ll also work with the team to support Labor Management System (LMS) initiatives and develop reporting that helps improve operational performance. You’ll also be responsible for: 

• Conducting time studies, developing labor measurement techniques, validating engineered standards, and identifying opportunities to improve labor utilization. 

• Analyzing operational processes and partnering with associates to identify improvements in productivity, safety, service, and cost performance. 

• Supporting engineering and project management initiatives, including workflow changes, equipment placement and justification, resource utilization, and project effectiveness.

• Helping design systems that improve the integration of people, materials, and equipment to increase productivity. 

• Visiting other facilities to evaluate processes, identify efficiency opportunities, and support continuous improvement efforts. 

• Preparing analysis and reports on Industrial Engineering studies for management. 

Qualifications:

This internship is a great fit for an analytical, hands-on student who enjoys solving problems and finding better ways to get work done. You’ll have the opportunity to apply industrial engineering concepts in a real Operations environment while building experience in labor management, data analysis, process improvement, and project management. Those three areas make up the primary focus of the internship. We are looking for: 

• At least Junior standing; recent college graduates are encouraged to apply 

• Pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering or a related major, or equivalent work experience. 

• Cumulative GPA of 2.80 or higher 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to provide clear, concise direction. 

• Ability to prioritize assignments and adapt to both fast- and slow-paced work environments.
