Hear from our interns
“Working at Black Hills Energy has been very rewarding. As an intern several years ago, I had the opportunity to work with many outstanding mentors who helped me understand the basics of the essential service we provide to customers. I quickly learned that Black Hills Energy’s values are tightly integrated within the culture. Upon graduation, I started a full-time career with the company, and I have had more opportunities to grow and advance than I could have ever imagined.”
Nick, Vice President Engineering, Project Delivery, and System Operations
“I couldn’t have asked for a better company to begin my engineering career at than Black Hills Energy. I started out as an intern the summer prior to my senior year, and joined the team full time immediately after graduating. Everyone I have interacted with has been helpful and they all genuinely want to see me succeed. I am thankful for the path I’ve already taken in the company, and I am excited to see the places a career at Black Hills Energy will take me.”
Grace, Engineer II
“At Black Hills Energy, the endless opportunities to keep learning about our degrees, growing new skillsets, as well as the overwhelming amount of kind people employed within the company are some of the reasons why my internship has been so wonderful. I have had the opportunity to learn more about the natural gas industry but have also had the ability to learn about the electrical side of things as well.”
