Home Office Summer Intern

Hannaford Supermarkets started out as a fresh produce vendor in Portland, Maine way back in 1883, and is still connected to those early roots as a local market. Hannaford actively seeks out farmers and producers to join our Local program which celebrates not only local foods, but the preservation of farmland, local traditions and local jobs. The connection we have to the source of our fresh foods is core to the way we do business, becoming the first major supermarket in the United States to document that all its seafood products were sustainably harvested.

Interns join a department in the Hannaford corporate office in Scarborough Maine for the summer, working closely with their mentors on a project related to the department they work with. Unlike other internship programs, at Hannaford your days will not be filled by repetitive legwork, but rather, you will use creative thinking to research, plan, and execute a solution to a specific problem within the company. At the end of the Summer, interns get the opportunity to present their summer projects and personal takeaways to company leadership.

In addition to its unique learning-focused format, the Hannaford internship program is special for its opportunities beyond day-to-day work. Interns have access to a schedule of paid events to attend throughout the summer, including tours of Hannaford facilities, corporate office events, educational and career development seminars, workshops, networking events with other internship programs, recreational outings with fellow interns, and much more! With something fun always going on, your weeks will never get boring or repetitive as a Hannaford intern.

With an atmosphere designed to minimize stress and maximize fun and learning, you can expect a work environment that will make you feel at-home from day one. The culture at Hannaford strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and humor, and our home office and retail employees are known for being kind and helpful across the board. We believe that productivity stems from support, so expect to have access to a robust mentorship network during your internship that will always be there to help you when you need it. Come work in a team environment designed to promote and reward individuality, innovation, leadership, and strong business results.

We have a hybrid work environment, and interns are expected to work in the Home Office in Scarborough, Maine at least 3-days per week, with 2-days of work from home.
