About the Internship

We are looking for a motivated Project Management Intern to join our Construction team for Summer 2027!

This internship provides hands-on experience in project management within the electrical construction industry. You'll work alongside our project management team and gain exposure to both the pre-construction and construction processes.

Approximately 60% of your time will be spent in the office and 40% in the field. This combination will give you a unique opportunity to connect what happens during estimating, planning, and design with how projects are actually executed in the field.

The internship will run approximately 10–12 weeks, averaging 40 hours per week. We understand that students have different academic schedules, so actual start and end dates are flexible and will be tailored to accommodate your school schedule.

If you enjoy problem-solving, working with a team, and seeing projects come together, this is a great opportunity to put your education into practice.

What You'll Do

• Assist with the contractor bid process, including layout, design, and cost estimating.
• Help coordinate project planning, scheduling, timelines, and resources.
• Support Project Managers in tracking project progress and maintaining project documentation.
• Help coordinate communication between clients, subcontractors, and internal team members.
• Participate in project meetings and discussions regarding project updates and challenges.
• Conduct research and analysis to support project decisions.
• Assist with preparing project reports, presentations, and other documentation.
• Help maintain accurate and organized project files.
• Contribute to the development of project safety and quality assurance plans.
• Perform other duties as assigned by the project management team.

One small recommendation: I like explicitly stating that the dates will accommodate the student's school schedule. That could help attract students who finish their spring semester later or need to return to campus earlier in August.
