REMOTE work from HOME

The Ryder Summer Internship program will allow students to apply their knowledge to current Ryder projects. Interns will develop a corporate business sense by learning how each department contributes to the overall organization as well as crucial problem-solving, analysis and public speaking skills while attending business meetings and participating in projects.

We are currently seeking interns at either a graduate and/or undergraduate level in the following areas:

  • Legal

Role Responsibilities:

  • Research, track, and compile policy, sustainability, and industry/association items:

  • Compile policy-related information into universal policy catalog

  • Categorize legislative, regulatory, and/or related action along with key points/documents while monitoring the active status of identified issues

  • Correspondence (inbox) management of sustainability@ryder.com and general intake and tracking of customer requests

  • Help manage ESG requests/questionnaires (internal and customers) and record keeping

  • Peer benchmarking of sustainability reporting/disclosures

  • Map out association engagement opportunities including conferences, staff contacts, etc.

  • Help build database of internal/external contacts for corresponding projects

  • Participate in team calls

  • Prepare meeting materials including PowerPoints and other documents

  • Attend virtual internal/external briefings and provide recaps

Ad-hoc Responsibilities:

  • Conduct research for other programs, as needed.

  • Create educational materials (online trainings, “how to”) for the field in priority areas – i.e. oil water separator compliance, waste management, Environmental 101 for supply chain (started but not yet finished).

  • Coordinate information gathering across teams for requests that come to our department – doing a first pass of intake forms, determining if details are missing for team review, and coordinating follow-ups as needed.

  • Experience with Microsoft Office is a plus

Environmental Services

  • Possible Projects (in order of priority):

  • Conduct comprehensive U.S. state-by-state regulatory review to support Torque launches proactively (versus reactively market-by-market as done today). This will also provide value to FMS and SCS operations governed by similar regulations.

  • Complete desktop audits of Torque processes pending to inform policy and process development – i.e. new oil vs used oil volumes, vehicle/technician distances from Ryder shops.

  • Complete a pricing analysis of environmental vendors to identify opportunities for cost savings and better customer experience in the field.

  • Expand on water stress area analysis to determine which of our facilities fall in these regions, what their water consumption looks like historically, and develop a plan for reducing water risk.

  • Work with Sourcing to develop a strategy for increasing renewable energy purchasing as part of their utility purchasing process.

Requirements

  • Be able to commit for 8 weeks virtually, with potential for in person meetings/activities if you’re local to Miami HQ.

  • Be a resourceful team player that manages ambiguity and is able to adapt to different situations and people

  • Must have completed at least four (4) semesters of college or university curriculum and be currently enrolled toward a degree.

  • Currently enrolled toward a degree.

  • Member of school club(s)

  • Comfortable with public speaking

  • Ability to quickly learn new technologies
