About The Position

Alaska Airlines is hiring a full-time, 12-week summer 2027 intern for its Engine Vendor Maintenance team. The internship is based in SeaTac, Washington, and candidates who do not already live in the internship city must relocate for the internship. Interns work on visible projects across the company and have opportunities to gain hands-on experience and network with employees and leaders through intern events and programming. The internship is intended to provide skill development and work experience; it does not guarantee future employment. Two program timelines are available to align with different academic calendars. The intern will analyze engine maintenance and shop visit data, develop forecasts for future maintenance expenditures, and build dashboards and analytical tools to monitor costs, forecast accuracy, and fleet performance. The role also conducts fleet-wide analyses to identify trends, risks, and opportunities to improve maintenance planning, budget development, and asset management.
