Job Description

Southview Design's Internship Program was started with a purpose of giving students in the Landscape and Horticulture Industry the opportunity to experience the green industry firsthand; to build a working knowledge of landscape design-build-maintenance and a sense of the overall operation of a successful landscape company.

Our unique internship consists of an 8-week (60 day) training schedule in which the intern transitions into various positions throughout a successful landscape business. The internship is paid starting between $20-21/hour. The typical work schedule is Monday through Friday, however there may be some Saturday and or after hours needed. The total work week will total up to 40 hours/week unless production or projects require overtime work.

• Provide necessary feedback and evaluations of performance
• Provide a safe and secure environment within which to work
• Supply cap, shirts, and pants as a uniform is required when in the field working

Interns will rotate through various departments on a bi-weekly basis, the schedule of rotation will vary greatly based on production and availability of staff members. The training activities are listed below.
