Novinium Celebrates 10 Years of Engineering Internships

Oct. 16, 2017
The success of the program has encouraged Novinium to expand the opportunity to graduating high-school student poised to enter college in the fall in pursuit of a degree in engineering.

Novinium, Kent, WA, provider of electrical cable rejuvenation for power utilities, is celebrating the 10th year of its engineering internship program for university students. The program is designed to give university students entering their junior or senior year in pursuit of a degree in mechanical, electrical or chemical engineering a chance to demonstrate their motivation and readiness to join a world-class engineering team. The success of the program has encouraged Novinium to expand the opportunity to a graduating high-school student poised to enter college in the fall in pursuit of a degree in engineering.

“There were many unknowns with starting this brand-new, high-school program,” said James Steele, engineering manager at Novinium. “We engaged local high school career counselors early and were blown away by the caliber of local high-school talent that applied!”

This year Novinium welcomed Kira Murillo to its engineering team, a graduate of Liberty High School in Renton, WA, who enters the University of Washington’s mechanical engineering program with sophomore standing thanks to her participation in Bellevue College’s Running Start program. University student interns this summer were Garret Berkey from Seattle Pacific University and Chris Pinto from the University of Portland.  “Our interns have played an integral role in achieving project milestones and hitting our timelines,” Steele said.
