Job Summary

Clark National Accounts, a division of Clark Associates, is looking for a Project Management Intern to join our Project Services team for the summer. This isn't a coffee-running internship. You'll get hands‑on exposure to how large‑scale restaurant and retail projects come to life while owning real process improvement initiatives that help our team work smarter as we continue to grow.

If you're curious, driven, love solving problems, and want to see how a fast‑paced business operates behind the scenes, we'd love to meet you.

Who Are We?

Clark National Accounts partners with some of the largest restaurant, retail, entertainment, healthcare, hospitality, and senior living brands in the country.

As an intern, you'll get a behind‑the‑scenes look at how all those pieces work together.
