Teknor Apex Company

Mechanical Engineering Intern

June - August 2019 • Jacksonville, TX

What I liked

It's a small company and this was the first time offering an internship for this facility. It was slow paced and a great introduction into working for a company. It was very self-taught and self-driven, as long as you communicate well with your boss. In my case, Daron Fraim.

What I wish was different

As it was a small company, the work was often self-driven, but on a rather small scale. There was not a whole lot of opportunity for working on larger projects. Additionally, the position entailed more process management engineering rather than design or mechanical.

Advice

My advice from this internship experience is to not be choosy when it comes to internships. If you can get an internship that you really want, go for it! However, make sure you are sending out your resume to more than just one company. Any internship you get will provide experience and look great on your resume. Don't be afraid to send out your resume to a wide variety of companies. Even if it may not seem the most interesting, give it a try. Lastly, do not forget that above all things, trust that God knows where you need to be and will help you get there.

Summer Intern

April - August 2019 • Pawtucket, RI

What I liked

I've been with the company for a few summers now. The whole experience has given me excellent experience in the manufacturing world. I've gotten to know their process well and how it differs from other companies. I have also gotten some great experience with process engineering. One of the best parts of working for Teknor Apex is the atmosphere. It really does feel like a big family. They take care of their employees better than almost any other company that I have heard of.
