Interns will engage in activities such as quantity take-off, layout, preconstruction and as-built surveys, shop drawing review and approval, submittal review and maintenance of logs, and responding to subcontractor RFIs. They will also interface with subcontractors and suppliers, attend weekly progress meetings, and assist in coordinating work between the owner, architect, and subcontractors. Additionally, interns will be involved in the bid process, reviewing construction documents and specifications, maintaining field records, assisting with estimates, budgets, and value engineering, and preparing billings to the owner. They will also assist in the approval of invoices, ordering and expediting materials, scheduling updates, quality control, safety measures, and project closeout activities. This internship is an excellent opportunity for students to develop their skills and knowledge in the construction industry while working alongside experienced professionals.
