Marketing Social Media Summer 2027 Internship

As a Social Media Intern, you’ll help bring the people, projects and stories of Walbec Group to life across our social channels. This hands-on, field-focused role will take you to jobsites, plants, shops and events to capture the everyday moments behind our work, from impressive projects and unique equipment to team culture and career opportunities. You’ll work alongside experienced marketing and media professionals while having the freedom to pitch ideas, experiment with content and build a strong portfolio of work that will be published across Walbec Group’s channels.

What you’ll do

• Get out in the field. Visit jobsites, plants, shops and company events to capture timely, social-first photo and video content.
• Find and tell the story. Talk with team members, ask questions and uncover the people, projects and moments that showcase our work, culture and capabilities.
