About

The Role .

Ready to put what you’ve learned in the classroom into action? Join McCain Foods’ North American Supply Chain team as a Supply Chain Intern for Summer 2027. This paid internship is a chance to gain hands‑on experience, learn from industry professionals, and make an impact at a global food company.

During the internship, you’ll work in one of our key areas— Logistics, Customer Service, Deployment, Inventory Planning or Supply Planning. Along the way, you’ll learn how supply chains really run, with exposure to everything from managing inventory and balancing supply with demand, to moving products through warehouses and transportation networks, to building customer relationships and using data to solve real business challenges.

The internship will take place from May through August 2027 at our Oakbrook, IL office. We offer a hybrid work arrangement, where our interns collaborate in person with their teams at least three days a week, while the remaining day may be worked remotely or in the office. In addition to the work performed in the internship, you’ll have opportunities for professional development, networking, and mentorship to help you build skills and confidence for your future career.
