Summer 2026 Intern Program: NY SHE, Safety Policies and Programs

Find what makes you Superpowered. Become a Gridtern.

As we help clear the path to a greener future, we need to ensure our people continue to power our progress. The world of energy is changing faster than ever!

Our Gridtern Program provides current college students the ability to gain practical experience within the energy industry. Your summer will begin on Monday, June 15, 2026, and will be filled with meaningful work experiences, professional development, networking opportunities, community involvement, and most importantly, have fun!

Our Safety Policy and Programs department within the New York Safety, Health, and Environment (SHE) organization oversees occupational safety within our New York service territory. In conjunction with the safety data management and reporting team, this team ensures the timely and accurate delivery of information in adaptable formats, empowering business leaders and stakeholders to make informed decisions that drive safety performance and reduce incidents throughout the organization. As they collect, analyze, and transform safety data into accurate, digestible insights that highlight key trends, metrics, and drivers, they help to enable stakeholders to take greater action. By supporting through the design, development and maintenance of clear dashboards, key performance indicators (KPIs), and effective storytelling of the data across multiple platforms and communication channels, they help to provide governance and the oversight needed to further strengthen safety programs.

As a Gridtern, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in data analytics and visualization. You will support monthly reporting, respond to data requests, and help upgrade key dashboards while performing in-depth trend analyses. You will also work with data from multiple systems building data pipelines that connect platforms like Power BI, Snowflake, and the Cority incident management system turning raw information into clear, meaningful insights that make a real impact. You may design and launch strategic safety communications and campaigns to drive stakeholder engagement. By the end of your internship, you will have a deeper understanding of how to use real-world data to influence safety practices, enhance decision-making, and make a significant impact on workplace safety overall.

You will be based in Syracuse, NY working in a Hybrid format for the summer. You must reside within a commutable distance to the designated work location during this period.
