BOLT Intern – Field Environmental Services; FES

What We Are Looking For

The BOLT (Building Opportunities & Learning Together) Intern Program is Kinder Morgan’s elite summer internship program. Do you want to spend your summer gaining hands‑on experience in the energy industry while enhancing your professional and interpersonal skills? At Kinder Morgan, you will have the opportunity to do just that by participating in meaningful projects that support our vision of delivering energy to improve lives and create a better world.

Kinder Morgan is one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in North America. We have an interest in or operate approximately 78,000 miles of pipelines and 136 terminals. Our pipelines transport natural gas, gasoline, crude oil, carbon dioxide (CO2) and more. Our terminals store and handle renewable fuels, petroleum products, chemicals, vegetable oils and other products. We are a market leader in each of our businesses - Natural Gas Pipelines, Products Pipelines, CO2, and Terminals.

We have an unparalleled, large footprint of diversified and strategically located assets that are core to North American energy infrastructure and help deliver needed energy products to high-demand markets.

A Field Environmental Services (FES) intern will contribute to the FES and Engineering departments and will learn the coordinated efforts required between different specialties to manage the environmental compliance obligations of our major engineering projects. At the end of the BOLT internship, the intern will be required to present a summary of their summer to the management of the department. This will be an opportunity for the intern to demonstrate what they have learned throughout their internship and provide insight on their experience to senior business leaders and key stakeholders.

The internship opportunities will be focused in one or more of the following areas:

• Federal and State environmental regulatory compliance for construction, operations, and maintenance related activities and processes, related to the management of non-hazardous waste, RCRA hazardous waste, TENORM waste, Mixed Waste, and Universal Waste. This may include coordinating waste disposal options, facilitating waste pickups by contractors, or providing technical guidance to facility personnel on the proper management of wastes.

This involves identifying strategies that can integrate pollution prevention, reclamation, recycling, and disposal opportunities, with an emphasis on regulatory compliance and cost savings.
