About The Company
There's a reason we're called "the farm builders." We absolutely love working for farmers. In fact, farming is at our very core. We’re all farm kids who grew up seeing the dedication our families put in every day from dawn to dusk, and we strive to emulate that work ethic in every project we do, no matter how big or how small. We are proud to be a full-service contracting company. We are here to serve you throughout the entire process. We have our own specialized crews who focus solely on their area of expertise, from drafting and designing to site excavation, concrete pouring, building-specific construction and electrical work. This allows us to control the building schedule and makes for a more seamless process. But our work doesn’t end when the building is complete. We are committed to maintaining relationships with all of our customers throughout the lifetime of the structure, whether you need to have it serviced or just have questions or concerns. Above all, we know our customers and our employees are the cream of the crop. We would not be where we are today without them. However, if you do have a problem or a concern, our team will do everything in our power to meet you wherever you are to make it right.
About the Role

As a Finance Intern you will assist and support the Sales, Operations, and Finance teams by assisting with the coordination and accurate data entry of accounts payable and accounts receivable information, as well as related resources, equipment, meetings, and documentation. Assist in monitoring project progress to help ensure projects are completed on schedule and within budget. Collaborate with Project Managers to confirm project requirements and prepare clear, detailed project outlines and supporting documentation for review. Set up B2W estimates and generate change orders with correct tax configurations based on state regulations and project scope. Process subcontractor documentation and ensure commercial bid requirements are properly communicated and adhered to. Support timely and accurate job costing through efficient review and validation of cost data. Provide assistance with special projects as assigned. Maintain effective working relationships with Vendors, Project Administrators, Project Managers, Estimating, Procurement, and Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable teams to ensure the accurate and timely flow of job-related information in accordance with company standards.

Our Core Values:


We’ve Got Each Other’s Backs

First and foremost, we are a team. That means when someone is having a hard time, we step up and help each other out, whether it’s part of our day-to-day job or not. We’ve got each other’s backs. No questions asked.


Own Up

No one is perfect. We get that. If you make a mistake, own up to it, help to fix it, learn from it and move on.


It's Not Always Sunny

Ag construction is a vital part of our rural economy, but it’s hard work. Whether it’s 75 and sunny, or 15 and snowy, we work in the elements, day in and day out. Because of that, positive attitudes are a must. We’re all in this together in every situation to do whatever it takes to get the job done.


No Jerks Allowed

It doesn’t matter if we’re talking to a customer or a colleague, treating each other with respect, having a good attitude and taking responsibility for our work is of the utmost importance.


Whatever job we’re on, we give 100% at all times, doing everything to the very best of our ability. We take pride in what we do and how we treat one another is no exception.



If you feel you match these values, are motivated to be an impactful member of a team and truly want a great summer of experience in the construction industry with great people, apply today!
