Internship, Electrical Construction

Titan Electric • Itasca, IL

1d • Onsite

About The Position

At Titan Electric, our interns work with our project managers and superintendents—inside the office and out in the field. You’ll be learning how commercial electrical projects actually get planned, built, tracked, and delivered. If you’re curious, organized, and want real exposure to how construction projects run from start to finish, keep reading.

Program length: 10–12 weeks (summer)
Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours/week
Location: On-site at Titan Electric offices and active project sites
Track: Assistant Project Manager (APM)
You’ll be paired with experienced project managers and superintendents and supported every step of the way.

You won’t be guessing what “project management” means—you’ll be doing it. During this internship, you’ll help support real commercial electrical projects by:

Assisting project managers with budgets, cost tracking, and field timesheets
Sitting in on and documenting project kickoffs and coordination meetings
Learning how RFIs, submittals, and change orders really work
Tracking material закупments, vendor follow-ups, and delivery schedules
Spending time on active jobsites to observe progress and field operations
Comparing real work in place to drawings, specs, and schedules
Using tools like Excel, Word, Bluebeam, and PDF markup software
Keeping project documentation organized and up to date
By the end of the summer, you’ll understand the full project lifecycle—from pre‑construction planning through execution and close‑out.

You’ll learn in phases, not all at once:
Early weeks: Orientation, safety, drawings, and learning how projects are set up
Middle weeks: Budgeting basics, scheduling, productivity tracking, and procurement
Later weeks: Field experience, vendor/client communication, and deeper project coordination
Final week: A capstone presentation where you’ll share what you learned with Titan leadership
This isn’t busywork—it’s intentional exposure.
