Business/Supply Chain/Procurement Intern

Bechtel Plant Machinery, Inc. (BPMI) is seeking business and supply chain students for paid, full-time, extended internships. Our 2022 Summer Intern class will begin work at our Monroeville, Pennsylvania office in May of 2022, working 40 hours per week. Students will then transition to part-time (up to 32 hours/week based on class schedules) from August through December 2022. If students are not yet graduated by December 2022 there is the potential for additional full- or part-time rotations based on business needs and class schedules. Extended internships normally result in offers for full-time positions at BPMI.
 
Bechtel Plant Machinery, Inc. (BPMI) is a project engineering organization supporting the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. BPMI provides design, manufacturing, and supply chain management of the fabrication, testing, delivery, installation, and field support of nuclear power plant components installed in submarines and aircraft carriers. In addition, BPMI provides upgraded replacement components in support of refueling and overhaul activities, and aids in the ultimate storage and disposition of spent naval fuel. BPMI also delivers information technology and operational solutions to the Nuclear Navy, enabling them to fulfill their critical mission. 
 
If you are a current college Sophomore or Junior studying business or supply chain management, our internship program will give you the opportunity to work in your field of study while simultaneously pursuing your bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university. These opportunities can enhance your academic training while teaching critical business skills and allowing you to learn about BPMI, the Navy, and the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program.
 
What You Can Expect:
 
Close Mentoring - You will be assigned a unique sponsor for the duration of your BPMI experience.

Along with your manager, a sponsor also provides general support and training on BPMI’s business and operations.
 
Training - You will be provided with learning opportunities across various procurement functions such as procurement planning, budgeting, negotiating, developing and maintaining strong supplier relationships, and contract management.
 
Shipyard Tour - Our Interns and co-ops visit Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia for a one-day shipyard tour. This unique and exciting opportunity allows you to see and potentially tour aircraft carriers, submarines, servicing facilities, and other areas of interest. You will gain a better appreciation of the important work BPMI does, and the key role the Navy plays in protecting the interests of the United States of America.
