As a safety intern at Veit, I’ve been welcomed into a supportive, family-oriented team. I get hands-on experience, take some of the load off the team, and have access to resources to help me learn. Everyone works hard, communicates well, and truly cares about each other’s success.

In just two weeks on Lake Michigan near Waukegan, IL, our marine team removed zebra mussels and completed a full inspection of an 8,000+ ft intake pipeline within a system that’s over a century old.

Nine crew members. Challenging conditions. Critical infrastructure. This is the difference: a team that can mobilize quickly and perform in environments where others can’t.
