About Department of Energy - Richland Operations Office

The Hanford Site sits on 586-square-miles of shrub-steppe desert in southeastern Washington State. Beginning in 1943, the site was used to produce plutonium for the bomb that brought an end to World War II. After a short lull, production was ramped up in 1947 to meet the challenges of the “Cold War” and continued until 1987 when the last reactor ceased operation. Weapons production processes left solid and liquid wastes that posed a risk to the local environment including the Columbia River. In 1989, the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Washington State Department of Ecology entered into a legally binding accord, the Tri-Party Agreement (TPA), to clean up the Hanford Site.

An internship with ANR Group Inc and an assignment to work at the Hanford site is an opportunity for college students to work on meaningful projects that have a unique history. These internship assignments provide professional development opportunities for college students in a number of disciplines, including: engineering, business, science, environmental, construction management, health and Safety, and many other fields. Challenging work experiences are provided for students who are willing to work hard and eager to build work experience towards their degree.

Students interested in an internship must complete the on-line application.
