Sales, IT, Finance/Accounting Summer Internships

Hampton Lumber Mills Inc.

Description:

Hampton is excited to be offering paid internship opportunities to college students over the summer of 2012! Our objective is to give hands-on experience to students interested in working specifically in the forest products and/or manufacturing industries. In turn, we believe the internship experience provides Hampton with a chance to get to know a student and his or her capabilities. Even though our internship model is evolving, we have celebrated success from prior years as some of the interns are returned to complete a project with us over the winter break, or have been hired full time upon graduation.

Scope:

Hamptons internships are intended to take place over the summer break for a period of 1-3 months with an average work week of forty (40) hours. The length of each project will be determined by an interns availability and the scope of the work to be done. Projects for each position are under development and will be matched to provide students with the optimum learning opportunity. Goals and oversight will be provided by an assigned mentor or mentor group.

Opportunities are being considered for the following departments:

Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Construction, and Environmental)

Sales

Information Technology

Finance/Accounting

The locations for these positions include:

Portland, OR

Tillamook, OR

Willamina, OR

Warrenton, OR

Morton, WA

Randle, WA

Arlington, WA

Darrington, WA

Qualifications:

The students applying for these positions should be actively enrolled in courses at an accredited university as a Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior in their chosen area of study. While we haven't identified a specific GPA minimum or a major, we do expect students to be able to demonstrate a solid learning ethic in an area applicable to our industry.

In addition, we find the most successful candidates have the following unique qualities:

Enjoy activities outdoors (hunting, fishing, camping, and boating).

Prefer working and living a small community as opposed to a big city.

Have an interest in exploring a wide-range of functions related to their chosen degree.

Are familiar with safety standards and can commit to working safely.

Can work with a mentor yet remain self-motivated to complete tasks.

Like to get their hands dirty and wear hardhats, work boots, and related attire.

This is a paid internship and also offers paid housing and meal expenses.
