Description

Are you a creative problem solver with strong analytical skills? Union Pacific Railroad is looking for high-energy, hard-working individuals who value teamwork and who want to make a difference in the transportation industry. We value thoughtful, innovative thinking, and swift problem solving. Experience a year-round internship in our Human Resources department and help us reshape the way we build America.  As an intern, you will build knowledge and experience in our core business groups and their vision, business objectives, processes, systems, and services. You will have extensive contact with peers and interaction with senior leaders. There will also be an opportunity to put leadership, technical skills, and business knowledge to immediate use through high value project assignments.

The Human Resources department is seeking students of junior status or below who are interested in working year round. Work full-time during our summer internship period (mid-May to about the first week in August), then work a part-time schedule while in school. Work schedules and hours will be flexibly planned to accommodate class schedules; however, availability to work 15-25 hours per week in person at UP Center in Omaha, Nebraska and virtually when needed, is required.

This Internship opportunity is on our Labor Relations team. You will be assigned projects equivalent to those of any Human Resources analyst and will be given the opportunity to manage a project from start to finish.
