Chemical Engineering Internship Program Autumn/Winter 2024

CareerDC Internships charge a fee for the coordination of each internship program. You will get a tailored resume, interview training, unlimited interviews, access to our network of host companies, an internship placement relevant to your studies, an accredited WIL course where applicable and support during your internship.

Apply the knowledge you’ve gained in your university coursework to real-world problems. And develop your technical and soft skills that will help you with your career planning.

The Chemical Engineering Internship Program is a great option if you are a university student in Australia, want first-hand work experience with local host companies and get academic credit for the internship.

The internship program is a particularly good fit for international engineering students in Australia who want to experience industry tasks with an Australian business. Domestic students are also welcome to apply.

If you’re a new graduate or your degree has no internship requirement, you can apply for the internship program and combine the internship placement with an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program. 

The internship program (or the WIL program for new graduates)  is facilitated by CareerDC. We assist students and new graduates get study-related work experience by coordinating internship programs with Australian host companies. 

The Chemical Engineering Internship Program will be matched to meet your internship preferences and needs, including start date, location and duration of the internship.

As a few examples, the internship host companies include:

• A company with over 40 years of experience in mineral process engineering, testwork and technology solutions.
• A company with expertise in life science research and commercialisation whose services support global researchers in academia and industry.  
• A privately owned company with involvement in diverse sectors, including wireless communications and biotechnology.

As another example, your internship could include any of the following types of tasks and learning experiences, depending on your host company: 

• Support lab activities, set up experiments, and prepare necessary materials.
• Assist in collecting experimental data and performing preliminary analysis.
• Learn and follow standard experimental procedures under supervision.
• Gain hands-on experience in operating and maintaining lab instruments and equipment.
• Collaborate with the team on ongoing research projects, offering input and insights.
• Experience customer visits with a sales rep.
• Assist an industrial chemist with R&D administration work.
• Assist Validation Engineers.
