Challenged and supported
We hire innovative, dedicated people who strive to deliver on our brand promise, better than yesterday. You’ll feel challenged and supported while you work to bring our 4P Philosophy of principles, people, product and profit to life. And you do this by designing, building and supporting equipment that is feeding and fueling communities, managing natural resources and connecting people to the necessities of life.
You have the opportunity to learn firsthand from members of our leadership team about how the business operates and gain a better understanding of Vermeer as a whole. Executives share insights into their areas of expertise and give an opportunity for questions during lunch and learn events throughout the summer. You also have the opportunity to engage in social team building events such as frisbee golf and cookouts to relax and get to know other interns in the program.
We can’t make you feel what it’s like to join the Vermeer team, but we can tell you this. We believe what we do matters, but how we do it is just as important. We respect and care about each other. We take on the challenge to find a better way to get our work done than we did yesterday.
Make a critical impact
We strive to make the world better, not just with the equipment we make, but in the work our teams do. As part of the internship program, you have an opportunity to volunteer at local events and charities and use your talents and resources to make a critical impact in the community.
