IT Intern

AWC is a leading Automation and Controls Technology company, with 700+ employee-owners dedicated to winning together as we optimize U.S. Manufacturing and Utility operations. If you love learning, working with innovative technology, solving problems, and want to share in the rewards from your efforts as an owner, we would love to talk with you.

As employee-owners, we don’t just do a job; we build exciting careers and long-term wealth through challenging ourselves and the status quo, seeking better, safer, and more effective solutions. At AWC, innovation is not a buzzword—it’s how we grow, improve, and create value together.

Our goal is to provide IT and software-focused students with unique summer internship experiences that build knowledge, skills, and real-world impact in software development, automation, AI, and digital transformation. Our internship approach is hands-on and project-driven, allowing interns to work on meaningful initiatives that directly support our teams, our customers, and our business.
