Summer Intern at Stark International

There are two projects to be undertaken by the intern. The first is an onboarding document to help new salespeople who are very good at their job but not well-versed in the technical nature of the transformer industry better understand the science and function of transformers and transformer mineral oil. The better the new sales teams understands the importance of Stark’s services to the maintenance of transformer function and integrity, the more convincingly these sales teams will be able to sell Stark’s services to new customers and help Stark expand its customer base and position itself as an industry leader. This onboarding document will be about 20 pages, and provide a comprehensive yet simple overview of the function of transformers, the use of mineral oil in these transformers, and the importance of mineral oil processing to maintaining the function and integrity of transformers. The second project is a report detailing areas for automation and remote monitoring in Stark’s current oil processing method. Discussions will be undertaken with Stark employees, and diagrams of their processes reviewed in order to identify opportunities for automation and remote monitoring.
