Construction Intern

October 2018 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

The work-life balance, coworker quality, camaraderie, & development opportunities. I learned a lot on my project and everyone has been super supportive of me both professionally, personally, and in school life!

What I wish was different

Nothing. Maybe been able to see other job sites, but I was able to see so much being there on the jobsite everyday that has helped me grow exponentially.

Advice

Be yourself. Especially with a company like JE Dunn, it is one huge family and you want to make sure they are a great fit for you just as much as you are to them. ** please note when your review this, I am an intern but the things on the next page about perks and Benefits, I am putting everything the offer to full time post-college people! — you can edit this part out**

Construction Management Intern

May 2017 • Nashville, TN

What I liked

The company has an amazing culture and has a very well ran intern program. I was given responsibility from the start and continued to receive more as I proved myself.

What I wish was different

I honestly enjoyed all parts of my experience.

Advice

No matter what field you're going into or are interning in, ask questions. Ask a lot of questions. Not a day went by that I didn't ask my superintendent 10-15 questions about general construction, finance, materials, best practices, etc. You may think you're annoying them but even if you do a little bit, you're there to learn and they appreciate the diligence and curiosity.
