Are you a creative problem solver with strong analytical skills? Union Pacific Railroad is looking for high-energy, hard-working individuals who value teamwork and who want to make a difference in the transportation industry. We value thoughtful, innovative thinking, and swift problem solving. Experience a year-round internship in our Human Resources department and help us reshape the way we build America. As an intern, you will build knowledge and experience in our core business groups and their vision, business objectives, processes, systems, and services.
