Layton Construction

Construction Management Intern

July 2020 • Honolulu, HI

What I liked

I really enjoyed being able to handle task in the field and relay that to the office team, sort of like a bridge between the two networks. It was great to work with the guys in the field and see the actual design come to life right in front of you.

What I wish was different

The timing had been different. I started this internship in the middle of the pandemic and so I wish that I had started or joined the team before that and been able to really work with some of the guys, instead of having a learning curve with COVID19, plus the on the job training. Nonetheless it was a great experience and I have learned a lot.

Advice

Pay attention in meetings and don't be afraid to take on a challenge.

Construction Management Intern

March 2019 • Idaho Falls, ID

What I liked

I have really liked working for Layton Construction. They treat you just like a project engineer and provide excellent training to get you up to speed. I have learned more during my internship than I ever have in school. I was able to work for 40-60 hours each week, and continue my internship part time while attending BYUI. I loved working on a large scale construction project. I have been working on the new hospital in Idaho Falls. Lastly, I loved the people with Layton. They made the job worth it.

What I wish was different

I wish they had taught me more about the field side of construction. I spend more of my summer in the office working on paperwork, emailing sub contractors, sending RFI's and Submittals, and updating and maintaining the plans. I wish I had been given the opportunity to learn more about the superintendent side of construction management.

Advice

One thing that I would recommend is pursuing an internship in exactly what you want to do for your career. I knew from the start of my schooling that I wanted to working for a large general contractor on a large scale commercial project so that is exactly what I pursued for my first internship. Doing this has led to many other opportunities for my second internship. Interview as much as possible.

Advice

Construction has long and scattered hours but hard work is noticed. You typically get paid what your worth and often times your subcontractors give you what you pay for.
