Sandhills Global is a worldwide marketplace that connects buyers and sellers in agriculture, construction equipment, transportation and aviation industries. Headquartered in Lincoln, Sandhills is also a proud partner and sponsor of University Career Services at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
As a Husker Circle employer, Sandhills supports student development by providing resources, participating in career fairs and offering mentorship opportunities. The company is also a top employer of University of Nebraska-Lincoln students, recognizing their enthusiasm, new ideas and growth mindset they bring to the workplace.
Rather than limiting interns to routine office tasks, Sandhills provides students with opportunities to contribute to real projects being completed across departments. This hands-on experience allows students to build professional skills, explore career interests and gain meaningful experience during their time as interns.
“An internship at Sandhills is a great way to get hands-on experience in a role," said Jennifer Connell, a representative from Sandhills. "As an intern, you’ve got the same opportunities and responsibilities as a full-time staffer, just having more flexibility around your class schedule. You’re working on real things that are applicable to the company and are focused on getting you that hands-on experience while you’re going to school!”
Students from a variety of academic fields are encouraged to apply, with roles ranging from sales to data science. Sandhills values adaptability over specific industry knowledge, seeking applicants with a strong work ethic and a willingness to collaborate.
Workplace collaboration is part of the company by design. The open office layout encourages communication between departments and ensures teamwork is part of daily operations.
“One thing that stands out about our working environment is that we don’t have any cubicle walls in any department or any of our office buildings," said Connell. "This facilitates a lot of collaboration and teamwork across the departments and makes it easy to ask people within the department a question when it arises.”
Sandhills operates across several major industries and supports a wide range of brands with offices around the world, including locations in the United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Even as the company continues to expand, including the addition of a new building on the Lincoln campus, interns remain an important part of the organization.
“Our company is growing rapidly, and we’re always looking for ambitious students to be part of our internship program,” said Jennifer Connell.
For students seeking real-world experience, professional development and potential career pathways, Sandhills Global offers opportunities to contribute to a global company while still in school.
