Content Creator & Social Media Marketing Intern

Part-Time | Knoxville, TN | Paid Internship with Opportunity for Full-Time Employment

About Us

Do you love creating content that people actually stop scrolling to watch?

Are you the person who's always filming, editing videos, spotting the latest social media trends, or thinking, "That would make a great Reel"? Do you enjoy meeting new people, exploring Knoxville, attending community events, and telling stories through photos and video?

If so, we want to meet you.

The Plumbing Authority is one of Knoxville's fastest-growing plumbing companies, and we're looking for a creative, outgoing, and ambitious Content Creator & Social Media Marketing Intern to help us build one of the strongest social media brands in East Tennessee.

This isn't a typical social media internship.

We're looking for someone who wants to take ownership of our social media presence, create content that stands out, build relationships throughout the community, and help us become the plumbing company everyone recognizes online.

You'll spend your time creating content at job sites, filming our technicians, attending community events, partnering with local businesses, brainstorming creative campaigns, and turning everyday plumbing into engaging content people actually want to watch.

If you're looking for an internship where your ideas matter, you'll fit right in.

For the right person, this internship has the potential to grow into a full-time career.
