Summer Internship

Evonik’s Summer Professional Enrichment (SPE) Program is a 12-week internship program that provides undergraduate students an opportunity to gain real-world experience and expand their knowledge beyond their studies in university. Over the summer, interns will apply skills they've acquired through education to their technical project while also gaining experience working on a cross-functional team for a regional group project.

We offer summer internship opportunities across the United States in various fields, including manufacturing/operations and environmental health & safety. During the interview process, we will work with candidates to identify the work setting and location that best aligns with their career aspirations.
