Description

Are you a college student near Orlando, FL looking for a year-round industrial engineering internship while pursuing your degree? Would you like to develop skills beyond what you can learn in a classroom, gaining valuable hands-on experience and exposure to tools and techniques by working with IE professionals at a Fortune 100 company? If so, this internship may be the perfect fit for you.

The student IE is a year-round, part-time internship position supporting the Publix Pharmacy distribution center and Central Pharmacy operations. Central Pharmacy includes three key functions: remote processing for store pharmacies, specialty and compounding support, and a highly-automated central fill facility where robots fill customer prescriptions. You’ll be based in our central fill facility located near the Florida Mall in Orlando and will support the local central pharmacy and pharmacy distribution center operations.

Because school comes first, we offer a flexible work schedule to accommodate your classes and coursework. Our goal is to provide the student as much exposure as possible to the day-to-day work of a full-time industrial engineer, so you’ll work directly with Publix IEs to assist them with projects for our Pharmacy operations, including:

• Process improvement and standardization,
• Time and motion studies,
• Capacity planning, and
• Analytical decision support
