Collaborative Assignments
Freeport-McMoRan internships are designed with you, the student employee, as the focus. The goal of our managers is to create meaningful projects where you can learn and grow. Come experience work with highly qualified professionals!
This is a chance for interns to gain some cross functional training by shadowing an employee outside your department for a day. Interested interns should work with their manager to organize a shadow day with another department. You will spend the day learning how the work you are doing in your own department fits in the larger business as a whole. Also, this will provide you with a preview of career opportunities that you may not have previously considered.
A World of Preparation
Each summer, we hire students from various North American universities who work with teams at our global headquarters and at our many site locations across the United States. As a Freeport-McMoRan intern, you can expect an experience that is both challenging and rewarding. Internships typically last between 10 and 16 weeks. During this time, you will be evaluated on your attention to safety and your demonstration of technical expertise, problem-solving and interpersonal skills, including attitude and professionalism.
A World of Success
While our business focus is mining and technology innovation, our business requires the expertise of professionals in virtually every aspect of global administration. Qualified and skilled employees are given the opportunity to excel at Freeport-McMoRan.
