HMC Welder Internship Program

Are you interested in becoming a welder?

Located just 3 miles south of Princeton, Highway Machine Co. (HMC) offers a hands-on welding internship program for high school and college students from the surrounding area, including Gibson, Vanderburgh, Pike, Knox, Warrick, and Wabash (IL) counties.

For high school students, internships are typically scheduled during the second half of the school day during their final semester. Graduation does not have to mean the end of the internship. Students can continue working with HMC while attending trade school, with schedules adjusted around their classes.

HMC interns receive competitive pay and industry leading training while working with some of the largest and most advanced machine tools in the industry. Successful candidates have the opportunity to develop valuable skills, gain real world manufacturing experience, and build a career with a company that has been manufacturing precision components for more than 100 years.

  • Currently enrolled in a welding program
  • Basic understanding of blueprint reading
  • Ability to use a tape measure
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Ability to lay out a part
  • Proficient in basic mathematics
  • Basic understanding of welding principles
  • Willingness to learn and follow safe work practices

What You Will Learn

As an HMC Welding Intern, you will gain hands on experience with:

  • Fitting and assembly of parts to manufacture large gears and components
  • Sub arc welding setups
  • Flat and vertical welding
  • Weld inspection for size and defects
  • FCAW, SAW, flame cutting, and air arcing
  • Magnetic particle testing processes
  • Part processing in the Painting and Handling department, including deburring, painting, cleaning, and shot peening
  • Safe operation of overhead cranes and forklifts
  • Proper inspection of rigging before use for lifting

Build Your Future at HMC

This internship is more than a summer job or short-term work experience. It is an opportunity to learn a skilled trade, earn competitive pay, gain valuable industry experience, and build a foundation for a long-term career.

HMC is committed to helping students develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed, whether their next step is graduation, trade school, or a full-time career with HMC.
