What our Interns have to say:

During my time as an intern at CaptiveAire, I was able to grow my communication and technical skills and gain practical experience that complemented my time as an Engineering student. I built confidence in presentations, communication with peers, AutoCAD, and other program skills. I was also introduced to the HVAC and Construction field while simultaneously developing sales skills and strategies.

CaptiveAire is an excellent company that fosters employee growth by offering a wealth of valuable resources to enhance knowledge and skills, enabling employees to achieve success at their own pace and with the support of leadership. The internship equipped me with similar responsibilities to those I now hold in my full-time Technical Sales position, which significantly boosted my confidence and laid the foundation for my current career.

Myinternship showed me how to personally own a project, and just how rewarding it is to see the project you did the calculations for, that you designed from start to finish, be up and operational in the field. Thisinternship was a truly unique experience, as from the first day you have a real impact on the customers you serve. Your success is directly tied to the success of a project, so you are constantly driven to learn and to deliver the best work possible. You work with such a wide variety of projects and products that every day you’re learning something new.

If you’re an engineering student with a drive for helping and working with others in a fast-paced environment, I would strongly recommend an internship with CaptiveAire.
