KLN Family Brands

College Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors…We’re looking for you


Our Story

KLN Family Brands is a 3rd generation family-owned business that started in 1964 with its corporate headquarters located in Perham, MN, in the heart of MN lakes country. Together, our companies manufacture a diverse and expanding range of high-quality human and pet food products.

At KLN Family Brands, our vision is that “We are a proud people-first company. We are successful because of trust-based relationships, and first-rate products for our families and friends. We better the world by caring for others. We challenge. We grow. We inspire.”

Some companies have to “fudge the story” a little. Some need the extra “spin” to shine a positive light on themselves. That’s not who we are at KLN Family Brands, and that’s not what we do. We tell the story of our brand – our people, the quality of our products, our spirit & moxie, our tradition, and the way we treat our community & beyond. We do it in a genuine way because we genuinely believe we’re a pretty amazing company.


We're looking for an Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) Intern for the Summer of 2024 that is serious about a career in manufacturing. If you are willing to learn from the best, and have a desire to participate in the growth of some of the fastest growing brands in the Pet Food Industry, you've stumbled onto the right job.


The Opportunity


As an EHS Intern, you'll work closely with our Senior Director of Food Safety and Environmental, Health, and Safety and our Safety Director.


Daily Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Conduct area and personnel sound surveys throughout the KLN businesses located in Perham
  • Assist with the development of equipment-specific lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures at Kenny's Candy & Confections
  • Conduct personal protective equipment (PPE) assessment reviews with the businesses and assist with new assessments in areas that are lacking
  • Assist with the collection of information to conduct job hazard analyses
  • Help the EHS Director with the collection of data and/or research information for the implementation of several significant programs

Unique Projects:

  • Develop reports from sound surveys to provide valuable information about the next steps to reduce noise exposure
  • Develop emergency maps for the KLN Corporate Office using AutoCAD
  • Learn to conduct root cause analyses using cause mapping


You will learn things like:

  • Innovation and creativity
  • Goal setting and KPI measurement
  • Analytical and critical thinking
  • Problem solving
  • Oral and written communication
  • Teamwork and leadership

What you'll need to be successful at KLN Family Brands:

  • At least a Sophomore in college pursuing a degree in Environmental Science, Public Health, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field
  • The ability to dedicate 10-12 weeks to the internship program for the Summer of 2024
  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn
  • The ability to work in a team atmosphere and be a great co-worker
  • The ability to work on-site at our Perham, MN facility for the Summer

Interns who demonstrate exceptional performance and a passion for our business may have the opportunity for full-time employment upon graduation.

Pay for this position will be a percentage of industry standards based on typical full-time starting salaries, and will depend on your year in school and your timeline to graduation.
