Job Description

Itron is transforming how the world manages energy, water and city services.

Key Responsibilities

At Itron , we are shaping a more resourceful world by delivering innovative technology solutions that help utilities and cities better manage energy and water. Our Sales Internship – Technology & Utilities Focus is an immersive program designed to develop future leaders through real-world experience, cross-functional collaboration, and exposure to the evolving landscape of utility technology.
This rotational internship offers a unique opportunity to work alongside seasoned professionals across Sales, Solution Architecture, and Executive Leadership. You’ll gain hands-on experience in how Itron delivers value to customers through data-driven, customer-centric solutions that support a more sustainable future.
In this role you'll learn how we identify customer challenges and craft compelling, customer-first value propositions that drive impact, collaborate with technical experts to understand how Itron’s solutions are designed, configured, and positioned to meet complex utility needs, and gain strategic insight by observing executive- level decision-making, customer engagement, and leadership in action.
Participate in a structured rotational program across three core teams: Sales Specialists, Solution Architecture/Pre-Sales, and Leadership Immersion.
Contribute to a capstone project that integrates your learnings from each rotation. You’ll present your findings and recommendations to Itron leadership at the end of the program.
Engage in team meetings, customer calls, and internal training sessions to deepen your understanding of Itron’s business, solutions, and customer relationships.
Receive ongoing mentorship and feedback from leaders across departments to support your personal and professional growth.
Demonstrate Itron’s core values—customer centricity, authenticity, accountability, agility, collaboration, and innovation—in every aspect of your work.
