MANUFACTURING ENGINEER INTERN

Description

Ever wondered what it actually takes to build a vehicle that saves lives? Do you want engineering experience that goes past textbooks and into a real production line? Are you the type who sees an inefficient process and can't help but think of three ways to fix it? Curious what it's like to work alongside manufacturing engineers on real problems with real consequences? Ready to trade a classroom for a shop floor and see if this career path is actually for you?

If this sounds like you, then we need to talk...

Frazer builds the emergency medical vehicles and mobile healthcare units that first responders and healthcare workers depend on around the world. As a Manufacturing Engineer Intern, you'll get real hands-on exposure to how production processes actually get built, improved, and documented, not just how they're described in a textbook. This role matters because the improvements you help identify make it easier and safer for our production teams to build vehicles that save lives.
