Our Mining Engineering Intern work in either Lansing, NY or Cleveland, OH underground salt mine locations as part of our Cargill Protein and Salt (CPS) business unit. There, you will learn to lead production or maintenance employees, project teams, contractors or technical operations teams executing on critical initiatives and projects in a fast-paced, underground environment. Although business processes vary, the design of this role provides appropriate exposure to the people management and technical components of the mining industry.

The intent of the Engineer Internship role is to allow individuals to be exposed to the technical and management aspects of engineering, while beginning to develop an interest for longer term career aspirations.

Our Mining Engineer Intern will gain experience in Operations Leadership and/or Maintenance & Reliability Engineering role. What lies ahead as a full-time engineer could be a career path in any of the following:

• Mining Engineers – Work both underground with engineers and crews on active projects and on surface supporting our people and infrastructure bringing road deicing salt to our customers. Engineers will learn mining techniques such as surveying and mapping, room and pillar mining operations, mineral processing, water management, materials handling, and mining safety best practices. Engineers will have the opportunity to work hand in hand with other team members on engineering work, and champion their own projects to leave a mark on our facilities.
• Electrical Engineers – The mining environment provides many opportunities to gain exposure to both high voltage power infrastructure and an extensive network of programming and control systems. Engineers Interns will learn how we safely operate and automate equipment from both experienced electrical engineers and electricians. Electrical reliability is the core support of production and communications in a unique environment and is maintained by best practices in maintenance and design that interns will learn to develop and implement by working with electric powered mining equipment, hoisting systems, pumps, conveyor belts, screening equipment, and other systems.
• Production Management Engineers
  - Lead people, process, and input/product in a mining environment. They will be involved in day-to-day direct supervision of operators and production activities and participate in daily production management meetings. Engineers will learn how to comprehend and handle all aspects of MSHA federal regulations and compliance programs including environmental, health, safety, maintenance, and housekeeping. Production Management Engineers typically develop teams of production employees within the first two years of their careers and have responsibility for hiring, scheduling, motivating, and handling employee relation issues.
