Job description

Yellowstone Landscape is dedicated to excellence in commercial landscaping. As the largest privately-owned commercial landscaping company in the nation, we offer exciting career opportunities for Landscape Professionals across the United States. To learn more, please visit our website: www.yellowstonelandscape.com.

Our growing company is seeking college students and recent college grads to join our Internship Program. The Yellowstone Landscape Internship Program provides students with an array of experiences in the landscape industry including management, construction, tree care, irrigation, fertilization, pest control, plant identification and crew management. We can accommodate interns at most branch locations. This is a full-time, paid position.

Responsibilities

We've designed this program with you in mind. You'll be exposed to different aspects of the landscape industry. A rotating schedule and learning objectives are clearly defined before you begin, allowing the Branch Manager, Intern Mentor and you to develop a program that best suits your interests and the needs of the branch.

You will be paired with an Account Manager (Mentor) who will act as your primary supervisor and be someone you can go to with questions or concerns. Your Mentor will share their management philosophy and help you develop your own management style. They'll always be there to provide feedback throughout the program.

Professional development is an important component of the internship program, and we offer outside activities and networking opportunities to enhance a student's exposure to the horticultural environment. We also offer a speaker's forum, covering topics relevant to the company and your professional development.

Requirements

  • Major in Plant Science, Horticultural Sciences, Agriculture, Landscape Management, Urban Forestry, Agricultural Mechanization, Construction, Design or Architecture, or Business.
  • Interest in learning all aspects of the landscape industry.
  • Can-do attitude and strong work ethic.
  • Clean driving record.
