Job Description
Interns in supply chain and manufacturing apply chemical engineering principles to troubleshoot production issues with reagents and reference standards at Veolia. Industries benefit from intern contributions to water treatment solutions that address scarcity and quality challenges globally. The role involves learning filling processes and packaging operations to support sustainable water technologies in manufacturing settings. Interns gain experience in fast-paced environments where they document work instructions and participate in improvement brainstorming sessions for depollution efforts.
Veolia operates in over 50 countries, employing nearly 218,000 in environmental services like water, energy, and waste management. The company's Water Tech division focuses on water scarcity solutions, designing systems for regeneration and productivity with teams of experienced professionals. Veolia pursues a mission to create sustainable futures through innovative environmental technologies, targeting commercial clients in industrial sectors.
Interns collaborate with engineers to address manufacturing issues on production floors, using analytical tools to solve chemical problems in formulation processes. They document workflows with software and review instructions for filling lines, while shadowing professionals for insights into packaging machinery. Work includes balancing computer tasks like spreadsheet analysis with hands-on roles packing reagents, adhering to GMP standards in lab spaces. Interactions involve communicating verbally with teams during troubleshooting and writing reports on testing improvements. A constraint involves the demanding pace requiring quick learning of systems like pilot-scale equipment for complex chemical reactions.
Compensation ranges from $20.70 to $23.50 per hour with a start date in May 2026.
