From Our Interns
“This internship helped me by providing the right resources and trainings that I needed to be successful in the field. It’s unique because it provides you with hands-on experience that you can’t get in a classroom. It is also a no-judgement zone, so no question is criticized and you can ask when you don’t know something.”
“My experience at Harkins as an intern was wonderful. Being on site was pretty daunting at first, but everybody on the team was super welcoming. Everybody encouraged me to learn, and they taught me everything I know.”
“My favorite part of the internship was getting the experience and learning the groove. The project itself was challenging, but I got to see the team around me come together and support one another.”
“During my internship, I had a great project team. They were really encouraging, and it was a lot of fun. I learned a lot in my first three weeks.”
“As a returning summer intern, I have continued to enjoy the connections I have made along the way. From my project team, to trade partners, it has given me a new perspective on the construction industry at large.”
“My favorite part of the internship was getting to be on-site and seeing the project come to life. I’ve enjoyed that each day has been different and there is always something challenging taking place.”
“Throughout the program, I have enjoyed working with different people who have all been extremely informative and willing to help throughout my entire internship. I learned about take-offs, putting together a detailed project budget, and how to explain budget changes.”
Winter Internships
Our winter internships offer a unique opportunity to explore the construction industry without prior experience. You’ll gain hands-on insights into field operations and collaborate with our team to develop essential skills in a dynamic environment.
Summer Internships
Our summer internships are designed for students pursuing construction-related degrees. You’ll work closely with our team on real projects, applying classroom knowledge to practical challenges, building your professional network, and preparing you for a successful career in construction.
Field Interns
Field interns gain hands-on experience in a real construction environment. Responsibilities include inspecting projects, managing submittals and RFIs, coordinating trades, conducting walk-throughs, and interacting with clients and partners.
Office Interns
By collaborating with teams in a variety of departments, our office interns develop valuable business skills through involvement in project coordination, data analysis, and critical administrative functions.
