Engineer in Training

The Engineer in Training (EIT) will participate in a program where they will rotate through 6 different Vogt Power engineering functions during a 30-week time frame. Each of the rotations will focus on teaching a different aspect of the business while providing valuable hands-on experience specific to each department. Mentors for each rotation will provide 1:1 support to further assist in the EIT’s development. The program focuses on providing in-depth technical training, business exposure, industry knowledge, as well as up to 4 weeks of field experience. Our goal is to provide early career engineers with a wide breadth of experience across all the engineering functions of our business.  Upon successful completion of the program, EITs will continue their career in an engineering role based on their preference and the needs of the company.

This is a paid program.  Start dates are flexible based on your institution’s academic calendar.
