Looking for an internship where you'll actually do meaningful work?

At JCG Land Services, you'll get hands-on experience with marketing, business development, recruiting, and client outreach while working alongside company leadership.

For more than 30 years, JCG has helped utility companies, engineering firms, renewable energy developers, and public agencies complete infrastructure projects across the Midwest. Our team works behind the scenes to help make new roads, power lines, renewable energy projects, sidewalks, and other public improvements happen.

We're looking for a motivated student who wants to build real experience, contribute to the company, and learn how marketing supports business growth.

What You'll Be Doing

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


• Design brochures, presentations, and other marketing materials

You'll also have the opportunity to work on special projects involving AI tools, conference planning, market research, CRM management, and any new ideas we happen are working on.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is curious, dependable, and willing to learn. You don't have to know everything, we're happy to teach you.

The ideal candidate is:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, Public Relations, or a related field


• Organized and detail-oriented


• Comfortable communicating with people


• 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.

You'll gain real experience in:

• Marketing strategy


• Business development


• Social media management


• Video and content creation


• Proposal development


• Client relationship management


• Graphic design


• Professional networking


• AI tools and marketing technology

By the end of the internship, you'll have real projects to add to your resume and portfolio.
