Energy Northwest in Richland, WA is seeking an Engineer-New Graduate
Energy Northwest’s New Graduate Engineer program is designed to hire engineering students earning their bachelor’s degree into full-time regular positions upon graduation. We seek graduating students who have earned engineering degrees in various areas including mechanical, electrical, computer science and civil disciplines.
The intent is to allow the New Graduate Engineer to gain exposure to different groups within the Engineering department including Systems, Design, Plant Support, Reactor Fuels and Technical Services. The new Engineer will earn qualifications within their first year, which qualifies them for promotions after their first year of employment.
The faculty in the School of Engineering & Applied Sciences distinguish themselves for their interdisciplinary applied-science research projects.
As Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture students, you can also participate in education-abroad programs in several continents, including Europe and Oceania, in world-class overseas universities that teach in English. With a WSU degree in Architecture, Computer Science, or Engineering, you may be hired by multinational corporations, e.g. BMW, Boeing, and Microsoft, to name but a few, which operate globally. All value international experiences and many successfully operate in the State of Washington.
You will thus benefit from international experiences, which will also enrich you professionally as well as personally. Learn more details about our education-abroad programs just for you!
