Job DescriptionWho We Are: From Georgia. For Georgia. Since 1914 Yancey Bros. Co. has proudly served as the authorized Caterpillar equipment dealer for Georgia, providing our customers with the highest quality sales, parts and service. From Caterpillar heavy and compact construction equipment to on-highway trucks, we remain committed to learning more about our customers, offering equipment and support to keep up with their changing needs. This all starts with our greatest asset…our employees. What You Will Be Doing: As a Think Big Intern – Heavy Equipment you will be enrolled in a two year specialized program alternating every eight weeks between South Georgia Technical College and your sponsoring Yancey Bros. Co. branch. This is where you will put your learning into practice with paid internships. Students learn how to work with Diesel, Electronics and Hydraulics in the classroom and then get the opportunity to put those new found skills to work in a real working environment. Upon graduating, students earn an Associate Degree in Applied Technology, have two years of experience with Yancey Bros Co and could have the opportunity to immediately transfer over as a full time employee, working in the field of their dreams. Career paths can include achieving top level skills as a shop technician, field service, supervision, management, sales, product support positions and dozens of other positions. To be considered for the program, each candidate will go through a face to face interview, complete job specific testing and be given a tour of our Yancey Bros. Co. facility. The Think BIG program has a limited number of spots each year and therefore students must gain a ‘sponsorship’ from one of the participating Caterpillar Dealers to attend. We will notify the candidates of our final choices prior to the school year starting in August. Along with being chosen to represent Yancey Bros Co as a student in the program, you will also be required to meet the qualifications and be accepted into the South Georgia Technical College program. Payment for the college courses will be the sole responsibility of the student. The program does qualify for the HOPE Grant. This is NOT a Summer Internship but a Two Year Associates Degree Program.
