Summer Intern Program
SM Energy offers a robust and impactful summer intern program that provides students with a rewarding work experience during a 10 to 12-week period. Each intern focuses on a key discipline within SM Energy and is challenged with meaningful work and practical learning.
Internship disciplines include drilling, completions, production or reservoir engineering, geology, geophysics, and land management. Not only do interns work on projects with significant value to the Company, they also observe field operations activities and participate in community service events to further their professional and personal development. All interns entering their graduation year conclude their summer experience by presenting a report on some aspect of their work to senior leadership at our corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado.
