In this role, you’ll work alongside experienced reliability and maintenance professionals to support predictive and preventative maintenance programs using industry-standard tools and technologies.\nThis opportunity is ideal for an engineering student who enjoys problem-solving, learning how complex industrial systems operate, and contributing to reliability improvements in a dynamic, real-world environment.\nThe successful candidate will likely start in January or June working full time M-F 8-hour days for a duration of 9-15 months. Candidates with limited availability to 3-4 months (Summer intern) may also be considered.\nWhat You’ll Do\nAs a Reliability Engineer Intern/Co-op, you will:\nSupport predictive and preventative maintenance activities to improve equipment reliability and uptime.\nAssist in collecting and analyzing data from vibration monitoring, lubrication routes, infrared thermography, ultrasound, and other condition-monitoring technologies.\nHelp trend equipment condition data to identify risks, troubleshoot potential issues, and recommend corrective actions.\nParticipate in reliability improvement projects such as Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and work management enhancements.\nPartner with operations, engineering, procurement, and maintenance teams to gain exposure to cross-functional problem-solving.\nSupport documentation efforts, reporting, and updating reliability databases and KPIs.\nShadow reliability engineers to learn best practices in inspection, diagnostics, and equipment health management.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nCurrently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Manufacturing or related Engineering field.\nStrong interest in equipment reliability, industrial systems, maintenance engineering, or data-driven problem-solving.\nExposure to or willingness to learn condition-monitoring technologies (e.g., vibration analysis, lubrication, infrared thermography).\nSolid mechanical aptitude with the ability to connect data to physical equipment.\nStrong analytical, communication, and teamwork skills.\nSelf-motivated, curious, and comfortable working in both office and field environments.\nProficient with Microsoft Office; familiarity with data or maintenance software is a plus.\nThe ability to work full-time in this temporary role for approximately 10-15 months is strongly preferred. However, candidates who are only available for a three-month summer assignment may also be considered.\nWork authorization in the United States is required. Sappi does not provide sponsorship.\nWhat You’ll Gain\nReal-world engineering experience in a large manufacturing environment.\nHands-on exposure to predictive maintenance tools and reliability methodologies.\nProfessional mentorship from experienced reliability engineers.\nOpportunities to contribute to meaningful projects that drive operational improvements.\nDevelopment of technical, analytical, and leadership skills applicable to a future engineering career.\n\nSafety-Sensitive Position\nThis is a safety-sensitive position within a heavy industrial manufacturing environment. Candidates must be able to safely perform the essential functions of the job while working in operational areas that contain magnetic and electromagnetic field exposure, moving equipment, vehicular traffic, elevated work areas, and other industrial hazards.\nAs a safety-sensitive employer, Sappi maintains a drug-free workplace.
