Job description

We recognize our competitive advantage -- our people. We believe in our people, who share our vision of meeting the needs of our employees, customers, and communities and who carry out the continued success of the company. Our employees are committed to the company's foundational values: integrity, excellence, teamwork, environmental stewardship, and community commitment. In turn, we invest in our employees, providing opportunities for challenge and advancement.

Hawaiian Electric Summer Internships offer students an opportunity to gain real life experience working on professional level projects and "hands-on" challenges. Interns are coached and mentored by employees who are committed to helping the interns develop their technical skills and explore future professional opportunities. At the end of the summer internship, interns have an opportunity to present their achievements and lessons learned to members of Hawaiian Electric's management team.

The Hawaiian Electric Summer Internship Program is a project-based experience with a dedicated mentor. Interns will be assigned an individual mentor with whom they will work closely to research and execute an objective-based project. Interns will also participate in cross-functional activities to learn more about life as part of the Hawaiian Electric 'ohana. Past activities include a tour of a power plant, former intern social, panel on professional career pathways and a professional development workshop. Interns can expect events periodically throughout the summer to meet and interact with other interns, and will present their project deliverables together in an open forum presentation at the end of their session.
