The internship will entail plant visits where the interns will learn about plant process equipment and help the team leaders audit & tag assets at different water/wastewater facilities.

This would be a great fit for anyone wanted to get into the water or wastewater space. Last year their interns spent 95% of their time working in their plants, doing real work. Very little typical intern busy work.
