Energy Intern

Energy Market Risk Intern

During your Summer Internship with us, you will collaborate on work that impacts the world and be surrounded by endless opportunities to learn new skills and grow in varied directions. If you're a forward-thinking, hard-working college student who loves to learn and wants to make a positive impact on the world while growing your career, join us and help shape the digital world.

At Equinix, energy is a strategic enabler of our global digital infrastructure. Managing power costs, commodity exposure, and market risk is essential to operating one of the world's largest data center platforms.

The Energy Market Risk Intern will support the Energy team by contributing to energy risk analysis, commodity portfolio insights, and market intelligence, while also assisting with cost, billing, and operational workflows. This role is designed for students who are passionate about energy and power markets, and who bring finance, accounting, and IT skills as part of their analytical toolkit.

This is not a traditional finance internship. It is an applied energy role that blends markets, infrastructure, and operational execution.

What You Can Expect

• Support energy market and risk analysis, including energy commodity exposure tracking and scenario comparisons
• Assist with analysis of the energy and power commodity portfolio, focusing on cost drivers and market trends
• Gather and summarize energy market intelligence (pricing signals, regional power dynamics, proposed utility tariff changes)
• Support development and upkeep of energy cost and budget calculators
• Review and process utility invoices, utility tariff schedules, and bill pay workflows
• Assist with regional power capacity reviews and demand planning inputs
• Support tracking and validation of construction-related energy invoices
• Prepare summaries and reports for energy, operations, and leadership teams

Why Join Equinix?

Equinix offers interns meaningful exposure to real-world energy market decisions at global scale.

You will:

• See how power markets and commodity risk directly impact infrastructure operations
• Work alongside energy, operations, and finance professionals
• Gain hands-on experience connecting market intelligence to operational outcomes
• Participate in Equinix's global intern development and learning programs
