Engineering Manager

"I recently completed an internship with BNSF Railway this past summer and I can say that I learned a lot in a very short amount of time. My position revolved around the actual train tracks and the work crews. Instead of doing traditional engineering work I did more management work such as completing invoices, pricings for tools, etc. The job requires a lot of communication in order to effectively get the job done safely."
