About The Position
Laporte, a multidisciplinary consulting engineering firm serving food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial manufacturing clients, is seeking a student to support business operations at its West Chester, Pennsylvania office. The role begins primarily with recruiting and expands into HR, office operations, finance logging, and partner projects. The schedule is 12–16 hours per week, arranged around classes, with at least three weekday in-office blocks of four or more hours. The intern starts at the lower end of the hours through finals and works the full schedule over winter break. The first two months are focused mostly on recruiting; afterward, the workload is approximately half recruiting and HR, one-quarter office operations, with the remainder split between finance logging and projects. A full-time role after graduation may be possible if it is a good fit.

- Review applications against established criteria, coordinate interviews, communicate with candidates, and maintain records in Greenhouse.
- Complete new-hire checklists, coordinate laptop setup with IT, and ship equipment to new hires.
- Help employees with benefits enrollment and routine requests.
- Write the monthly HR and administration newsletter, maintain training records, and format employee resumes and biographies for proposals.
- Handle incoming mail; log and route checks and invoices; order supplies; and coordinate contractors and vendors.
