Intern, Blog & Social Media Content

Fort Collins, CO

Sandbox Solar. With a name like that, you can probably guess that we're not going to be a boring, corporate operation! What's in a name? Well, in all honesty when we were kids, we were the ones wanting to be outside playing in the sandbox instead of watching TV and playing video games. But we also like technology enough that we don't mind borrowing  a term from the world of software, where "sandbox" is an environment in which you can test and try new things. It doesn't hurt that solar panels are made of silicon which is basically sand. We're all of that…not the boring corporate stuff.

We have an opening for an Intern who will help promote the value and brand of Sandbox Solar throughout the community, state, and country through design, marketing, and advertising. Check out sandboxsolar.com and you'll see how seriously we take marketing. You'll find some of our blogs there. And you can find us on Social Media where you'll get an idea of how seriously we take our online presence. The successful Intern candidate will be joining a team that's already doing an excellent job in all of these areas. This is not a role that some interns find themselves in, where they're not paid enough to create what should have already been in place.
