Sonneborn Refined Products seeks candidates with an interest in Summer Internship and/or Co-op opportunities as a Lab Technician at its Petrolia, Pa. facility. Most of our Chemists have been hired out of the summer internship program including most recently a 2009 graduate and 2008 summer intern.
Ideally, you will have:

- Oversee an individually assigned lab for the summer.
We seek candidates for both (candidate may express interest in either, or both):
- Summer Interns – classic, full time schedule in summer months
