Description
We have an exciting opportunity for a Multimedia Intern to join our Marketing & Communications team within our Creative Team. This role reports directly to our Multimedia Specialist and supports the development of video and digital content that tells the story of McKim & Creed-our people, our projects, and the impact we make in communities every day. This is not a sit-behind-the-desk internship. You'll gain boots-on-the-ground, real-world production experience-filming in the field, visiting project sites, capturing engineers in action, and learning professional video techniques in live environments. From planning shoots to setting up cameras and lighting on active job sites, you'll be immersed in every stage of production. You'll leave this internship with published, portfolio-ready work and practical production experience that sets you apart in a competitive creative field. McKim & Creed has built a reputation for state-of-the-art engineering services that help plan, design, and build the critical infrastructure that supports daily life. From water and wastewater systems to transportation, land development, and energy solutions, our teams are committed to innovation, sustainability, and long-term impact. This position is for a student intern beginning in Summer 2026. WHAT WE OFFER:
- Real-world, hands-on video production experience in both studio and field environments
- Opportunities to film on active project sites and capture real engineering work in action
- Direct mentorship and technical training from our Multimedia Specialist and award-winning marketing team
- Experience learning professional production workflows, field audio techniques, lighting setups, and interview best practices
- The opportunity to build a portfolio with real, published storytelling projects used for recruiting, branding, and company communications
