About The Position

HNI's summer internship program is a great opportunity for first-hand experience in your field of interest. You'll work on one or more projects that create value for our business partners. HNI's large, paid internship program includes exposure to leadership, professional development opportunities (Lunch and Learns, training, skill building workshops), support through a mentor relationship, volunteering, and social events! Company-paid apartment-style housing may also be available, based on student's geographic need and current housing capacity. We are looking for a Safety Intern with HNI to join our HNI team in Muscatine, Iowa during Summer 2026! As a Safety Intern with HNI, you join a fast-paced team with a vision and passion for implementing solutions and exceeding our customers' expectations. While no day will be the same, you can expect to put the knowledge you have gained in the classroom to use each and every day in a variety of experiences. From supporting the implementation of safety programs to conducting risk assessments to identify potential hazards, our safety interns are challenged and charged with continually seeking better ways of safely conducting business . . . continually asking . . . How can this be improved? Each summer interns receive a project (or two!) for the summer and work directly with a mentor for technical and professional guidance. Throughout the summer, professional development sessions are provided for interns including opportunities to learn from and network with senior leadership. Outside of work, interns from HNI enjoy professional and social networking opportunities throughout the Muscatine community. We look forward to hearing from you!
