About the Role

Description

Cru Concrete, Inc. is seeking an AI Intern to help us identify, design, and prototype opportunities where artificial intelligence can improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, and streamline workflows across the company.

This role is highly exploratory and people-facing. You will spend significant time interviewing staff, understanding how work happens day-to-day, identifying time-intensive or repetitive tasks, and proposing AI-enabled solutions, from simple automations to more advanced workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct structured interviews with team members across departments. Document how time is spent, where friction exists, and what tasks feel repetitive or inefficient.
Identify tasks or workflows where AI could save time, improve consistency, reduce manual effort, and enhance decision-making.
Evaluate the impact and risk of potential AI use cases and help prioritize which opportunities to pursue.
Help design repeatable processes for using AI effectively and standardizing prompts, workflows, or internal tools.
Help create an internal playbook or best practices for AI usage. Create clear, non-technical documentation that staff can understand and use.

What Success Looks Like

By the end of the internship, you will have:

Mapped how work is performed across key roles
Identified high-impact opportunities for AI assistance
Proposed (and potentially piloted) concrete AI-enabled workflows
Documentation and frameworks the company can continue to use

What You’ll Gain

Real-world experience applying AI to operational problems
Exposure to leadership decision-making and business strategy
A portfolio of applied AI work grounded in real constraints
Mentorship and feedback from an organization actively investing in AI

Requirements

Required

Strong curiosity about how businesses operate
Excellent listening and interviewing skills

Self-directed, organized, and comfortable working with ambiguity
Coursework or experience in: artificial intelligence, computer science, data science, business analytics, operations, industrial engineering, or systems thinking

Preferred

Familiarity with large language models (LLMs), automation tools (e.g., Zapier, Make, Python scripts, etc.), process mapping or workflow analysis
Experience prompting or experimenting with AI tools beyond basic use
Basic ability to prototype (Excel/Sheets, low-code tools, Python, Zapier/Make, etc.)
