We currently have a number of openings at Johnson Matthey in our 2025 US Internship Program. The Johnson Matthey US Internship Program will allow you to partake in meaningful roles that will help prepare you for your future. Exciting opportunities to join our program are available in three streams: Science, Operations, and Support Functions. 

Our program consists of a 10-12 week internship at one of Johnson Matthey’s various locations across the United States and across business sectors. The scope of each placement is designed to promote team building, develop presentation/personal skills and develop your technical skillset. The program is robust and challenging; it’s ideal for individuals who are passionate about pushing themselves outside of their comfort zone. To support you through this and ensure proper development, we believe strongly in mentoring and coaching. You will receive plenty of care and expert career advice along the way through those partnerships.  You will also participate in various different workshops specifically designed to assist you in building the critical skills needed as future leaders in the workplace.
