The JTL Internship

for Wrestlers in Construction

Built for those who know how to grind.

Three college wrestlers. One career-launching opportunity. A three-year program designed to turn hustle into leadership.

We’re not just hiring, and you’re not just applying.

This is an internship for student-athletes who know what it means to outwork, outthink, and outlast the competition.

What’s the JTL internship?

The JTL Internship for Wrestlers in Construction is a 3-year, paid rotational program for recent graduates with a Construction Management (or related) degree and a wrestling background.

This isn’t an office job. It’s a boots-on-the-ground career track built to take you from laborer to leader.

Over the course of three years, fellows rotate through every key department of JTL:

  1. Carpentry & Jobsite Labor

  2. Logistics & Scheduling

  3. Field Operations & Safety

  4. Estimating & Preconstruction

  5. Accounting & Finance

  6. Project Management

Each intern also serves as a community wrestling coach during their time with JTL, working with a local youth or high school program. Because once a leader, always a leader.

What You’ll Get

Starting Salary: $70,000/year.

Full Benefits: Health, Dental, 401(k), PTO

Real Training: Rotations across every corner of the business.

Career Growth: Mentorship, leadership experience, and coaching.

Purpose: A program that rewards effort, not just potential

We don't believe in entry-level coffee runs.

We believe in learning by doing, earning by proving, and growing by showing up every day with effort and attitude.
