Engineering/Business Internship

If you have a desire to learn more about commercial operations, marketing or product management, please consider applying for a business internship at Covestro that will pull in your technical skills as well!  We can provide challenging opportunities to apply your business acumen, your analytical skills, and your creativity to product and customer solutions.

The Covestro Engineering/Business Internship provides firsthand exposure to Marketing, Product Management, and Industrial Marketing at one of the world’s largest and most innovative producers of polymers and high-performance plastics.

Throughout the summer internship program at Covestro’s headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA, you’ll work closely with our highly skilled and experienced commercial and technical professionals in one of our businesses such as Tailored Urethanes, Performance Materials or Coatings and Adhesives.  In addition to the work experience, you may have the opportunity to visit a plant and/or warehouse to give you a first-hand look at our day-to-day operations.

You’ll contribute to ongoing projects, getting an intimate look at how Covestro identifies customer needs and keeps the flow of new and established products moving through the marketplace. The internship program will begin in mid-May 2024, and last approximately 12 weeks. 

Responsibilities may include:

Commercial Operations

During the internship, you may be responsible for providing support and analysis for one of our Commercial Operations groups.  In this role you will focus on supporting projects that help identify customer needs.  Examples may include a project that help our customers excel by using Covestro products that go into end-use applications in the automotive, appliance, or construction and electronics industries, just to name a few. 

Product Management 

As an Intern within Covestro, you may be responsible for the support and analysis of products and product planning.  This requires the ability to work across functions within the organization – sales, industrial marketing, product technology, supply chain, manufacturing and controlling.  Additionally, the selected individual may interface with colleagues in other regions.

Marketing

As an Intern you may support projects to identify customer needs and opportunities and help our customers excel by using Covestro products that go into end-use applications in the automotive, appliance, construction and electronics industries.  You will work under the direction of experienced professionals and will have the opportunity to become actively involved in current and ongoing projects.

To ensure the most meaningful experience possible, the exact breakdown of work will depend on the most critical and urgent needs of the business at the time of the internship.
