Job Description

ADM Production Engineer Internship - Various Locations

JOB SUMMARY - Production Engineer Intern

Real Work. Real Experience. Real Fun.

Our Engineering interns have the opportunity to experience operations in a variety of food processing plant facilities across the Midwest, such as oilseed processing or refinery locations, corn dry or wet-milling operations, or industrial chemicals manufacturing facilities. Internships are 12 weeks in duration during the summer. Our paid positions include fully-furnished, company-paid housing. Standard costs are reimbursed for relocating to and from the assigned location.

You will gain firsthand exposure to leadership, equipment troubleshooting and dealing with the myriad of challenges in a facility that operates around the clock, 365 days per year. This experience offers hands-on knowledge of the plant processes, products, and employees in the real word of manufacturing at ADM. Our program promotes the development of students while providing a training ground for potential future employees.

The internship consists of four key components:

  • People management
  • Project management
  • Application of engineering expertise
  • Building a safe work environment


You will receive consistent feedback and mentorship throughout your internship and will receive a final evaluation at the end of your experience. Students return to campus with a new focus on learning through their application of real-world experience from ADM.

  • Pursuing a bachelor’s degree in mechanical, chemical or related engineering field
  • GPA of 2.8 or greater required
  • Adequate transportation to and from work
  • This experience is physically demanding, and relates to those who desire hands-on experience in a production setting. Some tasks may require lifting, the ability to climb ladders, and working in confined spaces (including tanks and vessels).
