Internship
Want to build a stronger, more sustainable future and cultivate your career? Join Cargill's global team of 160,000 employees who use new technologies, dynamic insights and over 154 years of experience to connect farmers with markets, customers with ingredients, and people and animals with the food they need to thrive.
EARLY CAREERS
Imagine an internship where you get the chance to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to a real-life environment and then multiply that tenfold. We believe that interns are an integral part of the team, and they are treated as such from day one! Our interns seek real challenges, cultivate their curiosity, have client exposure, enjoy both personal and team accomplishments, and have their initiative acknowledged along the way. Interns collaborate and build relationships with colleagues and clients who represent diverse work, cultures, and resolution styles. We look for people who want to grow, support, think, and produce.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (EHS) INTERN POSITION
As an EHS intern, you will gain exposure to the development and implementation elements of our overall safety and/or environmental management systems that satisfy both internal and external requirements. We will expose you to the evaluation of trends, root cause analysis, the development/implementation of basic safety/ergonomics/EHS/environmental programs, departmental safety meetings, compliance activities, and corporate responsibility activities. Interaction with all levels of employees from production workers to top location and business leadership will be a standard part of your experience.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
The role involves physical activity in agricultural, food, and feed processing environments, which generally requires a moderate amount of exertion on a fairly regular basis-involving bending, stooping, squatting, twisting, reaching, working on irregular surfaces, and/or occasional lifting of objects weighing 10-50 pounds. The work may also involve other exertions, conditions, or exposures (e.g. heat, cold, dust).
