You'll work on a variety of projects throughout the internship, including:


Business Development

  • Research engineering firms, municipalities, utilities, and renewable energy companies
  • Identify upcoming infrastructure projects and bid opportunities
  • Build prospect lists and research key contacts
  • Assist with client outreach and relationship building


Marketing

  • Create content for LinkedIn and Facebook and other social media
  • Take photos and videos at projects, conferences, and company events
  • Help produce recruiting videos and employee spotlights

  • Creative and willing to share ideas but also accept feedback
  • Able to work independently and manage multiple projects
  • Familiar with Microsoft Office and social media platforms
  • Experience with Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, photography, or video editing is a plus, but it's not required.

  • Social media management
  • Video and content creation
  • Proposal development
  • Client relationship management
  • Graphic design
  • Professional networking
