Summer Operations Intern

Rescue Cooling Rentals provides temporary HVAC solutions in Texas, Arizona, Florida, & other warm states. When the AC goes out in hot climates, it’s a big deal. If repairs can’t happen immediately, then homeowners go to a hotel or businesses shut down. Rescue Cooling delivers portable AC units within 90 minutes to keep businesses open and residents in their homes.

Our business model is unique, and our company is growing fast! We need motivated summer interns to join our team and help us meet surging demand for our services. This position is open to ALL majors. Top interns will receive full-time offers upon graduation for managerial roles in our company.

Salary: This is not a summer sales position, but a fast-paced operational role with lots of overtime potential. Your summer earnings will be excellent so long as you work a full schedule. The hourly rate for first-year associates is $20, with a performance bonus target of $5k paid at the end of the season. (Previous summer interns have made about $30,000 total working May 1st through August 31st.)

Schedule: 8AM-5PM Mon-Fri with lunch break. Plus, you will be on call every other week. On-call means that when customers need emergency AC deliveries after 5PM or on weekends, you hop in the truck and take care of them. You can count on working 50-60 hours per week on average. On the weeks when you are NOT on call, you can confidently plan evening and weekend activities.

Relocation & Housing Assistance: We understand the hassle of travel and housing for summer internships and want to make it easy on our team members! We offer relocation reimbursement (varies based on location) and housing stipends for our interns at a flat rate of $500 per month. Your focus can be on earning and learning all summer rather than housing and travel stress!
