Marketing Internship - Summer 2027

Universal Engineering Sciences • Iowa Township, IA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

This isn’t a “fetch coffee and make copies” internship—it’s a chance to immerse yourself in real-world marketing for a growing engineering firm. At UES, we know marketing looks different in the A/E/C (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry, which is why we’ve built a structured, module-based curriculum. You’ll gain exposure to both technical service lines and creative strategy, learning how to craft marketing pieces that highlight engineering solutions and help grow our business. By summer’s end, you’ll understand both the “what” and the “why” behind A/E/C marketing—and have tangible work samples to prove it. By completing this internship, you’ll gain marketing experience in a specialized technical industry, a capstone project for your portfolio, and exposure to how business development and marketing drive growth in A/E/C. Whether your next step is content creation, communications, or proposal management, you’ll have practical skills and work samples to back it up.
