Job Summary:

Fortis Fire & Safety's Schaumburg, IL team is seeking a motivated and analytically driven Analyst Intern to support initiatives across Finance and Operations. This is a highly visible, hands-on, paid full-time summer internship open to rising Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors pursuing a degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Analytics, Industrial Engineering, or a related field and is based on-site five days per week at our Schaumburg, IL headquarters.

The role sits at the intersection of FP&A, Accounting, Field Operations, Service, and Integration designed for a student who wants to learn how a private-equity-backed platform company actually runs, from the income statement down to the truck. You will gain direct exposure to senior leaders across Finance, Operations, and the executive team, a front-row seat to a live buy-and-build thesis (how acquisitions get integrated, how synergies get measured, and how a national platform gets built from regional operators) as well as hands-on development of advanced Excel, analytical, and business communication skills. You will leave with a portfolio of real deliverables (models, dashboards, and memos) that you can reference in future interviews.

You will rotate your time across a portfolio of real business problems, partnering with leaders to identify efficiencies, build decision-support tools, analyze performance data, and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations. You will work closely with Finance and Operations leadership to strengthen analytical capabilities and drive platform-wide improvement.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Build and maintain Excel-based analytical tools, models, and dashboards that support budgeting, forecasting, KPI tracking, job costing, service profitability, and operational reporting across Fortis business units.
Partner with Finance on month-end and ad hoc analysis including revenue and margin variance, labor productivity, overtime trends, gross margin by service line (inspection, service, installation, monitoring, alarm, sprinkler, suppression), and working capital metrics.
Support Operations leadership in identifying efficiencies by analyzing technician utilization, route density, first-time-fix rates, inspection completion, backlog, and truck/inventory turnover — then translating findings into recommendations that field leaders can act on.
Gather, clean, and reconcile data from multiple source systems (ERP, field service management, CRM, timekeeping, and legacy platforms inherited from acquired companies) to create a single, trusted view of performance.
