• Help plan and implement earthwork models using 3D modeling software
• Participate in project planning meetings and progress reviews
• Build strong working relationships with project teams, Superintendents, and Project Managers
• Provide day-to-day project management support to Superintendents and Project Managers
• Help track and manage project submittals through review and approval
• Assist in preparing monthly payment applications
• Take on additional responsibilities as assigned, with room to grow based on interest and initiative
• Follow all office and jobsite safety policies and procedures
What We're Looking For
• Actively enrolled in an accredited university, pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering (preferred) or Construction Science and Management
• Junior standing or higher
• Available to work full-time, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, for the duration of the internship
• A driven, entrepreneurial mindset with a genuine interest in the construction industry
• Strong attention to detail
• Solid problem-solving and communication skills
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)
