What we are looking for

We are seeking innovators, collaborators, and problem solvers. Our interns do not shy away from a challenge, and are looking for a chance to create a real impact with our company.

We’re seeking an EH&S Intern/Co-Op to join our business in North America. You will be responsible for completing an assignment focused on process improvement initiatives and collaborating with plant leadership teams in our state of the art facilities. After a successful summer an EH&S Intern/Co-Op will get hands-on experience in manufacturing.  Our summer internship program serves as a talent pipeline for our Early Careers Program in Environmental Health and Safety and throughout the organization.

What you will be doing

• Travel to each MG-NA site and complete a waste process flow matrix by documenting each waste generated, how it is disposed, and which vendor currently receives the waste.

• Review and audit site compliance calendars for completeness and effectiveness.

• Monitor environmental and sustainability data for anomalies and negative trends

What sets us apart

Avery Dennison’s Summer Internship Program is unlike any other with its emphasis on networking, community and support. From Day 1, networking is encouraged, promoted and expected within the program. As you are on-boarded with other summer interns and Early Careers Program associates from various tracks, you quickly develop a community  of individuals all committed to make sure you have what it takes to succeed.

A core component of the curriculum is the peer mentoring program. Paired with an Early Careers Associate or program graduate within the organization, the program focuses on the transition from college to corporate, leveraging strengths and defining your early career path.  

In addition as an organization that values diversity and inclusion, we welcome our Summer Interns to take an active role in our Employee Resource Groups(ERG’s).  ERG’s are a group of employees that help advance and promote diversity, cultural awareness and an inclusive work environment. Some of our ERG’s are Black Employee Resource Group (BERG), Elevate(Women’s Leadership Development), NEO Chinese Association, Unite(LGBT+), Veteran Employee Resource Group (VERG) and Voz Latina.

Internships at Avery Dennison are paid and relocation assistance is available to those that qualify.
