Reed Conrey
Environmental Intern"My internship has been going great so far and I have had the amazing opportunity to visit multiple locations including four new ones just this week! So far, I have learned a lot about the environmental permitting process, submitting data to DEP, working with DEP on small spill incidents as well as getting to assist in collecting water samples from creeks around different sites. My biggest project that I have been working on has been updating the Spill, Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans for all our operations in Central and Eastern PA."
Brock Kennedy
Human Resources Intern"My internship experience has been nothing short of amazing because of having a supervisor who acts as more of a sponsor than a mentor. Due to that, I have been lucky enough to have been provided with a few stretch assignments such as organizing and putting on a plant-wide blood drive and conducting site-specific audits at some of our Midwest aggregate locations, allowing a slight bit more freedom and personal input."
Jacy Gehlsen
Communications Intern"My internship experience has been so rewarding! I've been able to work on various projects that have given me a deeper understanding of external and internal communications. Some highlights include updating and maintaining our social media platforms and intranet, assisting in creating internal newsletters and other communication materials, and analyzing data to support our communication strategies and goals. In the past month, I've grown exponentially in my content creation and digital communication skills."
Lesa Iteka
Chemical Engineer Intern"My internship has been incredibly rewarding. I learn something new everyday. It is more than what I expected and I am enjoying the experience. I have gained hands on experience and the ability to identify machinery issues through vibration routes and conducting root cause analysis to improve equipment reliability and accountability. I am looking forward to expanding my understanding of the industry's best practices and to continuing to learn from my mentors and colleagues."
