The Land Management Intern will perform various tasks assigned by Land Managers and Peoples Company staff throughout the term of the internship. Interns will spend time in Peoples Company's offices (Clive and Indianola, Iowa) with the opportunity to also work virtually. Interns will perform many of the day-to-day tasks of the land management business, including processing data, assisting with written reports, and visiting farms with Land Managers.

We are offering Summer 2025 internships for 40 hours a week. A May start date and August end date are flexible based on the student's school schedules. It is possible that 10-15 hours/week may also be available Spring 2025 school semester if intern’s class schedule allows. It can be helpful to start part time to get to know our processes and software, but not a requirement of the internship. Spring semester work hours would likely be virtual working from Ames.
