KeySpan Internship

KeySpan is looking to hire 2 HR Interns for the fall. Resumes can be sent to jbryson@keyspanenergy.com.

About our HR Internship Openings: Our HR department has openings for HR Interns (applicants must be a college student fully enrolled in school/university) to assist our Staffing Recruiter at our Corporate location in Waltham. This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in gaining valuable experience in a Human Resources department working with our Staffing Recruiter for employment and staffing for both NE & NY job opportunities. In addition, you will work with our HR Business Partners and Industrial Relations Group, which handles our union staffing. Current semester interns will meet with you and interview summer interns. You will be able to ask them about their experience and knowledge gained during their internship.

As an intern you will gain hands-on experience in many HR functions including recruitment, retention, Business Transformation, Testing Applicants, Employee Orientation programs, Internship Program, Recruitment, Selection Process, Hiring Practices, and Employee Relations.
Responsibilities for this position will include, but are not limited to:

Testing all union applicants for consideration of employment.
Assisting the Senior Corporate Recruiter with the day-to-day operations of the HR dept.
Assisting with the job posting process internally, online through Monster & placing ads in newspapers.

The successful Interns must have strong organizational, multi-tasking, and customer service skills.

Dependability, confidentiality, and a team-focused attitude with a willingness to learn are expected. Hours are flexible. At least 16+ hours or more per week preferred.

KeySpan’s Internship program offers college students the opportunity to gain valuable experience in our Human Resources Department as well as learning about the functions of other departments within the Company.

Interns are unpaid and therefore must be:
Enrolled at an accredited four or five-year college or university, on track to receive a bachelor or advanced degree.

Although these internships are unpaid, this is an essential experience for a student interested in a career in the HR field. And at the end of the internship, a stipend is given to our interns based on performance. Our HR department is responsible for staffing needs for over 1800+ employee located in the NE region (NH, MA & RI) and assist our NY recruiters with staffing needs for 9000+ company-wide.
