Students will finish the internship having expanded their knowledge regarding Supply Chain and Operations functions, and more specifically EHS.

Under the mentorship of the VP of EHS, the EHS intern will undertake projects directed at specific topics such as equipment safety, fall protection, occupational ergonomics, powered industrial trucks, environmental compliance, sustainability, and training education. This position is responsible for supporting projects, processes, and programs for EHS, located predominantly in Chicago, Illinois. We seek to attract talented individuals who possess the skills we need to become an industry leader.
