Subject: Summer 2026 environmental field crew at Copperwood Mine


Hi Justin, Gary, and Dave!

I've been working for the last year and a half as the Environmental Scientist for Highland Copper, the company running the Copperwood mine project in Gogebic County. Things are going well, and we have a pretty sizeable mitigation project that was completed last year and is starting to develop into really nice habitat.

Attached is an announcement for a student internship opportunity for this coming summer. We will be hiring three students with field ecology or environmental science experience. If you have some ways to do so, please distribute this announcement to biology, environmental, engineering, and natural resources students and any jobs lists at MSU that you think are applicable. I have posted this on Handshake already, which I believe can be viewed by MSU students. We will start interviewing candidates at the end of February.
