Materials & Process Mechanical Engineering Co-Op/Intern

About the position

You're not the person who will settle for just any role. Neither are we. Because we're out to create Better Care for a Better World, and that takes a certain kind of person and teams who care about making a difference. Here, you'll bring your professional expertise, talent, and drive to building and managing our portfolio of iconic, ground-breaking brands. In this role, you'll help us deliver better care for billions of people around the world. It starts with YOU. Intern/Co-ops can work in either an operations environment or on an office-based equipment development or design team. Within a production facility, mechanical co-ops work with operations to improve efficiencies and asset capability via application of sound mechanical engineering principles and design approaches/practices for our high-speed tissue machine and/or converting. Within a development or design team, mechanical co-ops can be part of a new product/process development team or work to develop prototype assets and/or overall system performance. Our Intern/co-op will offer you a chance to explore the breadth of opportunities available under the research and engineering umbrella while working on real projects such as product and process design, improvements to raw materials and finishing supplies, product development and improvement, experimental design and data analyzing, or operations experience in a production facility. You will be provided with meaningful work experience that contributes to the overall strategic business goals of Kimberly-Clark. You will be treated and respected as a valuable contributor and given your own responsibilities and accountabilities. Your co-op experience will include performance evaluations that provide you with valuable professional feedback to gauge your strengths and measure areas of improvement. Intern/Co-op students at Kimberly-Clark work on multidisciplinary teams under the guidance of experienced engineers and scientists. Assigned projects are collaborative in nature and require interaction not only within the research and engineering community, but with other functions such as marketing, finance, and operations.
