About The Position

BHE GT&S is offering a summer 2027 engineering internship in its Project Team Department at the White Oaks General Office in Bridgeport, West Virginia. The intern will assist with engineering project design reviews and procurement by comparing drawings and deliverables, completing validation tasks under the guidance of project managers and engineers, compiling stakeholder feedback for vendors, and helping develop and manage materials procurement tracking tools. The role is primarily office-based and includes travel to compressor stations, other operations facilities, and vendor offices for meetings and site visits. The intern will participate in design review meetings, take notes, assist project managers with site visits and technical evaluations, help review schedules, update financial forecasts using vendor quotes and proposals, and perform design calculations or verify third-party calculations using in-house tools and software under engineering oversight. The intern is expected to learn, communicate with project-team mentors, and provide a portfolio documenting the internship experience, including a presentation to a leadership team. The position is part of a safety-conscious workplace. The internship begins June 7, 2027, and includes at least eight weeks of on-site work. Earlier start dates or extended end dates may be available depending on the student's schedule and business needs. An independent means of transportation is needed because public transportation options are limited. Candidates who live at least 50 miles from the assigned work location may be eligible for a one-time housing stipend.
