All rising junior interns will have the opportunity to be considered for a returning internship or part time work as you continue your studies.

What You Will Learn

• The intern will be focused on propelling the site’s environmental compliance and sustainability programs.  RTX has committed to the following 2030 sustainability goals:
• 46% reduction in greenhouse gases
• 15% reduction in water use
• In support of these goals, the intern will be focused on the following projects:
• Coordinate a “Shut-it-Off” (SIO) campaign to promote energy conservation across the site.  Responsibilities include estimating energy savings using SIO calculators, site-specific energy pricing, and electricity usage.  In addition, identify non-programmable equipment and implement SIO process for this equipment through communications and signage.
• Review site water usage and current metering.  Based on review, identify water-intensive processes that do not have sufficient metering.  Propose locations to install additional metering which would allow the site to more closely track these processes to gain insights into water-saving opportunities. 
• Review the site’s toxics use reporting and reduction plan.  Meet with key stakeholders and perform research to identify opportunities to reduce usage of these toxic chemicals through substitution, engineering controls, operation and maintenance improvements, process modernization, etc.
