Job description

You are an accounting student looking for an internship experience with a truly great organization. You want to complete a rewarding internship with a company that is working together to be the world’s premier timber, land, and forest products company. You act with urgency and are accountable, courageous, and innovative. While you can understand complex topics, you have the ability to keep it simple and articulate what really matters. You are smart, authentic, adaptable, and listen. You bring energy and positivity to everything you do. Are you ready to join us?

At Weyerhaeuser, we are an industry leader, with a strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) foundation. We sustainably manage forests and manufacture wood products that make the world a better place. We’re committed to being a leader in climate change solutions and to our company’s core values: safety, integrity, citizenship, sustainability, and inclusion. We are driven to achieve excellence and proud of what we do. Our Accounting department is at the heart of the company, recording, reporting, and analyzing the company’s results. We are focused on developing great leaders and contributors for our team and the rest of Weyerhaeuser, with accounting alumni serving in key roles across the company.

In the internal audit internship, you will have a unique opportunity to gain a broad understanding of the company as whole. In this role, you will gain audit skills and see first‑hand the financial and operational activities and controls performed in our different business segments. You can make an immediate impact by helping our team deliver assurance and recommendations that provide value to management and the Board of Directors.

As a Weyerhaeuser summer internal audit intern, you can expect to:

• Network with and receive coaching from a wide array of individuals
• Put the skills and knowledge that you have gained in your coursework to practice doing work that matters to our long‑term success
• Innovate and help us achieve our Operational Excellence goals (Operational Excellence is our term for process improvement, a key and constant focus at Weyerhaeuser)
• Gain practical experience and exposure to important software, such as Auditboard, SAP, Power BI, Power Pivot, and the full Microsoft Office suite
• Learn about how an accounting background can lead to a long‑term successful career at Weyerhaeuser, whether that is in an accounting department, our broader finance organization, or numerous other areas of our company
