Interns will work directly with the Project Director and Cost Estimator, supporting both technical and administrative aspects of project management. The role is ideal for students and recent graduates eager to build foundational skills in construction planning, cost analysis, and field operations.

This internship offers exposure to the entire lifecycle of a construction project—from early-phase budgeting to on-site coordination—while also helping to develop soft skills through administrative support, documentation management, and client communication tasks.

Responsibilities:

  • Project Support: Assist with scheduling, planning, document control, and coordination of project activities.

  • Cost Estimation: Support the creation and updating of project budgets, take-offs, bid evaluations, and cost reports.

  • Team Communication: Participate in team meetings and assist in coordination between stakeholders.

  • Research & Analysis: Help gather vendor quotes, industry data, and materials research to aid in planning.

  • Compliance Support: Help ensure site safety and document compliance with regulations and company standards.

  • Additional assignments as directed by the Project Director or Cost Estimator.

Qualifications:

  • Enrolled in or recently graduated from a Bachelor’s program (Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related discipline preferred but not required.)

  • Experience: No prior work experience required, but internships or relevant academic projects are advantageous.

  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.

  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint); familiarity with tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Wrike is a plus.

  • Strong communication skills—written, verbal, and interpersonal.

  • A self-starter with a professional demeanor and a willingness to learn.

Standards of Performance:

  • Reliable attendance and on-time completion of assignments.

  • Positive and respectful conduct toward colleagues, vendors, and clients.

  • High-quality, accurate work output.

  • Consistent adherence to company safety policies and operational procedures.

  • Active participation in team collaboration and problem-solving efforts.
