<p>A good student experience is never hands-off. We are dedicated to fostering a dynamic learning environment where students actively engage in practical experiences throughout their time with us. From the beginning, students are entrusted with specific responsibilities, ensuring they play a significant role in their learning journey. As valued team members, students are also encouraged to share and implement their own ideas, enhancing both their personal growth and the collective success of the team.</p> <p>Description</p> <p>Description</p> <ul> <li> <p>Support and lead projects to improve quality of processes supporting use of Paint Shop materials.</p> </li><li> <p>Determine root cause of defects related to process materials within Paint Shop.</p> </li><li> <p>Paint shop consumes the largest amount of natural resources across the plant; it is crucial to constantly be working on ways to reduce energy consumption and water usage for sustainable production of BMW X-Vehicles.</p> </li></ul> <p>The qualified intern/Co-op should expect to contribute & improve in the following functions:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Maintain quality of all materials in paint shop</p> </li><li> <p>Validate and integrate new materials</p> </li><li> <p>Reduce energy consumption</p> </li><li> <p>Manage paint suppliers and escalation topics</p> </li><li> <p>Various production-critical tasks</p> </li><li> <p>Launching BMW Individual Colors and Matte Colors</p> </li><li> <p>Trialing new materials (PVC, wax, clearcoat, etc.)</p> </li><li> <p>Energy reduction projects</p> </li></ul> <p>Qualifications:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Engineering Degree</p> </li><li> <p>Knowledge of Thermodynamics (Heat and Mass Transfer)</p> </li><li> <p>Willingness to work in a production environment</p> </li><li> <p>Flexible; good at multitasking and prioritizing</p> </li><li> <p>Good at working with people</p> </li><li> <p>Possess a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 (not just in major)</p> </li><li> <p>Have enrolled student status at an accredited four-year college or university in the United States.</p> </li><li> <p>Completed at least 30 credit hours at time of application.</p> </li><li> <p>Ability to work full-time on-site (40 hours / week).</p> </li><li> <p>Must be an enrolled student during all three rotations.</p> </li><li> <p>Transfer students must have a GPA from current university.</p> </li><li> <p>MUST ATTACH A COPY OF UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT</p> </li><li> <p>Complete and pass a substance abuse test before the work term.</p> </li><li> <p>THE WORK TERM DATES ARE August 11th-December 12th, 2025.</p> </li></ul> <p>Paint Shop Materials & Environmental Co-Op (FALL 2025)</p> <p>20250314</p> <p>Automotive</p> <p>Spartanburg, SC</p> <p>United States</p> <p>Legal Entity:</p> <p>BMW Manufacturing Co., LLC</p> <p>Spartanburg, SC</p> <p>Job Field:</p> <p>Continous Improvement</p> <p>Job Id:</p> <p>155182</p> <p>Publication Date:</p> <p>14.03.2025</p> <p>Internship</p> <p>FullTime</p> <p>Print Page</p>
