Internship: Business Development Representative

Business Development Intern (Part-Time)

Who We Are:

Serving millions of citizens throughout the U.S., we ensure you have safe water to drink and reliable power at your home. Daupler helps the professionals that run the services our society relies on provide a better, faster, more reliable operation. Whether it’s responding to a burst water main, identifying contaminated drinking water, or keeping customers up to date on the restoration of power, Daupler is the infrastructure for customer service excellence. It’s a utility within a utility. Backed by some of the best investors in the country, the company is growing rapidly, and we’re looking for dedicated, mission-driven people to help us bring American infrastructure, and government, into the 21st century.

Here’s what our customers say about us:

“Best thing since sliced butter. Reduced our call outs by 75% and helps us respond faster to emergencies.” — Assistant Director, City of Oakland, CA
“Didn’t realize how much I needed this. [Daupler] makes my work so much easier… really helps our district better serve our customers.” — Manager, Mountain Water & Sanitation, CO
“Mind-blowing this didn’t exist before. Literally replaces the work of 4 people… critical to our operations, we use it 24-hours a day.” — Manager, Johnson County Wastewater, KS
