Internship Program

At Mitsui E&P USA LLC (MEPUSA), our interns don’t just observe the energy industry, they actively contribute to it. Based in Houston’s Galleria area, interns gain hands-on exposure to real projects across our U.S. shale portfolio, including major plays such as the Marcellus, Eagle Ford, and Haynesville.

At MEPUSA, we welcome students from diverse academic backgrounds who are eager to contribute to a global energy company and grow into future leaders. We seek interns who are passionate about learning, driven to create value, and committed to excellence. Our ideal candidates demonstrate:

• Integrity and Accountability – Acting with honesty, fairness, and responsibility in all situations.
• Innovation and Creativity – Staying curious, seeking continuous improvement, embracing new ideas, and challenging the status quo.
• Safety and Responsibility – Prioritizing the well-being of people, communities, and the environment in everything we do.
• Collaboration and Respect – Valuing diverse perspectives, communicating openly, and working together to achieve shared goals.
• Ownership and Initiative – Taking responsibility, stepping up to make an impact, and applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills to move work forward.

Throughout the program, interns work alongside experienced professionals, build technical and professional skills, and see firsthand how we balance operational excellence with our commitment to safety, environmental responsibility, and community. The internship program typically lasts twelve weeks during the summer, with the possibility of extension based on business needs. We are committed to providing a meaningful learning experience by giving interns real opportunities to contribute, grow, and build a strong foundation for their future careers.
