Commercial Construction Summer Intern

Commercial Construction Summer Internship

At Jamerson-Lewis Construction, our summer internship puts you in the middle of how buildings actually get built, from the ground up. We offer two tracks, depending on your experience: Track 1 for interns building their foundation, and Track 2 for interns ready to take on real project ownership.

Track 1: General Internship 

Open to construction-related majors, sophomores through seniors. Over 12 weeks, you'll rotate through three sides of the business: the jobsite, the project management office, and estimating. By the end, you won't just know what a general contractor does. You'll have done it.

Six weeks on-site with a Superintendent
This is where the real learning happens. You'll work alongside the crew, not just watch from the trailer: coordinating subs and suppliers, pitching in on-site, and sitting in on progress meetings and inspections. Safety, quality, problem-solving on the fly: it's all here, and you're doing it, not just observing it.

Three weeks shadowing a Project Manager
See how a project actually gets pulled off. You'll learn scheduling, budget management, and how to keep clients, subs, and your team all moving in the same direction.

Three weeks with an Estimator
Get inside the numbers. Learn to read blueprints and specs, build accurate cost estimates, and go through the real process of bid prep and contract negotiation.

Track 2: Project Engineer Internship

Open to students with at least one prior construction internship and strong references. Instead of rotating through departments, you'll be embedded on one project for the whole summer, working as a project engineer alongside our team.

This is real project engineer work, not observation. You'll track submittals and RFIs, coordinate with subcontractors, help manage project documentation, and support the PM and Superintendent on the day-to-day decisions that keep a job on schedule and on budget. You'll be accountable for real deliverables on a real project.

Both internships offer:

• Housing available
• Competitive pay
• Direct access to our Executive Leadership team
• Real project work from day one

Whichever track fits you, this is hands-on, high-trust, career-launching work. Come build something incredible with us.
