About The Position

EXTEX Engineered Products is seeking a Business Systems Summer Intern for Summer 2026 to support the organization, optimization, and automation of internal business systems.

Interns will work 20–30 hours per week (minimum 20, maximum 30), Monday through Friday, with flexible scheduling.
