MUST BE A JUNIOR, SENIOR, OR POST GRAD LEVEL STUDENT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE POSITION
Nature and Scope: Sun Hydraulics, LLC in Sarasota, FL has a paid Safety Engineering internship opportunity available for summer 2026. Students are offered a weekly introductory hydraulics course and the opportunity to see how the different safety engineering classes are applied in a manufacturing and engineering business. Toward the end of the internship, we ask interns to give presentations suggesting improvements that they may have identified during the defined project.
Qualifications: Hands on, self-motivated students from industrial safety, environmental, and industrial engineering programs are encouraged to apply. Undergraduate and graduate students that have had fluid power or hydraulics course work are especially encouraged to apply. Previous internship experience in a manufacturing environment is useful, but not necessary. Our preference is for students who have an interest in a safety engineering career working in Florida.
Responsibilities:
• Analysis of machines and equipment to produce Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) procedures • Apply requirements and standards from NFPA 70E and OSHA to the safety of operations in the manufacturing process • Assist in revising safety procedures and work instructions • Assist in performing Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for accidents and injuries • Participation in course training and Safety Committee Meetings
The three-month, summer internship is the beginning step toward future employment at Sun Hydraulics after graduating from your designated program.
