Summer 2027 Internship Program: Power Generation Engineering Opportunities - Long Island, NY

Maintenance Services Department, Power Generation (Island Park, NY)

Our Maintenance Services- Power Generation team is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing projects during unit outages and scheduled maintenance periods to support the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of National Grid's generating assets. The team manages capital projects, major equipment overhauls, and emergent maintenance activities for critical plant systems, including boilers, steam turbines, gas turbines, generators, and auxiliary equipment, helping ensure the long-term performance and reliability of the generation fleet.

As a Gridtern, you will support the Maintenance Services- Power Generation team while gaining hands-on experience in power generation, project management, and plant operations. You will assist with outage planning activities, budget analysis, performance reporting, and operational data analysis, including monitoring key generation performance metrics. You will also attend planning meetings, support project coordination efforts, and spend time in the field observing maintenance activities and working alongside plant personnel. Through this experience, you will develop a practical understanding of power generation systems and gain valuable insight into how outage execution and maintenance strategies support reliable electricity generation.

Combustion Turbine Department (Oceanside, NY)

Our Combustion Turbine Department operates and maintains a fleet of combustion turbine generating units across Long Island, supporting the reliable delivery of electricity to the local power grid and our customer, LIPA. The team is responsible for preventative and corrective maintenance, outage planning, capital upgrades, and the safe management and development of plant personnel. Through these activities, the department plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability, performance, and long-term sustainability of National Grid's power generation assets.

As a Gridtern, you will support the Combustion Turbine team while gaining hands-on experience in power generation, plant operations, and maintenance engineering. You will learn about the maintenance practices that support reliable generating unit performance, assist with analyzing operational and performance data, develop reports, and gain exposure to work planning and scheduling processes. Working alongside plant personnel and engineers, you will observe troubleshooting activities, support problem-solving efforts, and develop an understanding of how electrical and mechanical systems work together to deliver reliable energy to customers across Long Island. *This role requires a valid US Driver's license.
