At SFI, our people fuel a platform built for performance and scale. We are looking for individuals who thrive in fast-paced environments, delivering work they are proud of, and want to grow within an organization that offers significant reach across operations, markets, and specialties. In return, we offer competitive compensation, strong benefits, and long-term career opportunities within a large, high-performing network of operating companies.

Operations Internship Summary You will gain real-world experience in transportation while supporting operational and business initiatives across the organization. Through rotational assignments, you will work alongside operations teams to learn our transportation management system (TMS), understand how freight is managed, communicate with and dispatch drivers, and gain firsthand experience with day-to-day trucking operations.

You will build on that operational knowledge through project ownership and collaboration with leadership, contributing to process improvements and technology- and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled initiatives. By the end of the internship, you will have developed a practical understanding of trucking operations, business processes, and how technology can be used to improve efficiency and support decision-making.
