Jabil hires interns on a rolling, site-by-site basis rather than running one large structured summer class. Right now ApplyBolt's live board shows open internship postings in manufacturing engineering, project management and calibration, each tied to a specific Jabil site in the US. If you're looking for a Jabil internship for 2027, the postings are already trickling out, just not in the single big wave that some tech companies use.
Jabil itself is a company most students have never heard of despite being one of the largest in the world by revenue. It's an electronics manufacturing services company: other brands design a product, and Jabil's plants actually build it, at a scale of more than 100 sites across over 25 countries.
What Jabil actually does
Jabil provides engineering, supply chain and manufacturing services for other companies' products, from early prototypes through full-scale production and post-production repair and refurbishment. The company runs on more than 35 million square feet of manufacturing space, employs more than 140,000 people worldwide and manages roughly $30 billion in annual purchasing across a supplier network of more than 38,000 vendors. For its 2025 fiscal year, Jabil reported $29.8 billion in revenue. If you intern there, you're working inside one of the companies that quietly builds a huge share of the electronics you already own.

These are the specific postings live as this guide was last updated, not a fixed annual program. Jabil adds and closes site-level internship postings throughout the year, so check the live roles below rather than assuming these exact three will still be open when you look, or that they're the only ones that will ever post.
What background you need
It depends on the role. Manufacturing engineering and calibration technician postings want a mechanical, electrical, industrial engineering or related technical background, since the work happens on an actual production floor. Project management and other business-side internships are more flexible on major, though comfort with spreadsheets and clear written communication matters across the board. Because Jabil runs physical manufacturing sites instead of a single headquarters, expect most roles to be on-site at whichever plant the posting is tied to, with occasional remote exceptions like the project management role above.
Pay and what to expect
Jabil hasn't published a standard intern pay scale, and individual postings don't consistently list a rate. Manufacturing and engineering internships at large industrial companies commonly pay hourly, with the exact rate varying by site, role and local cost of living. Don't assume a number. Check the specific posting on Jabil's careers site, and if it's not listed, ask during the interview process before you commit.
How to apply
Jabil posts its roles through Workday and maintains a student, intern and apprenticeship track on its own careers site at careers.jabil.com. Because postings are tied to specific plants rather than one central program, search by location as well as by title, and read the full description closely since a "manufacturing engineer intern" posting at one site can look quite different from another depending on what that plant produces. Tailor your resume to the specific track: lead with hands-on, hardware or lab experience for the technical roles, and with coordination or process experience for project management.
