Construction Project Intern
Construction Management / Engineering Internship
Russell is taking applications for 2027 Construction Project Interns now! Join our project teams for hands-on exposure to how commercial construction actually gets built — from preconstruction through closeout. This isn't a shadow-and-observe internship. You'll be paired with a Project Manager or Superintendent, carry real responsibilities, and see your work show up on an actual jobsite.
• Support Project Managers with RFIs, submittals, and change orders in Procore
• Assist with scheduling coordination and subcontractor communication
• Participate in jobsite walks, safety meetings and inspections, quality control and progress documentation
• Help track project progress and organize projects files, subcontracts and purchase orders.
• Compile punchlists and close out documentation
• Shadow estimating and preconstruction on active pursuits; gather information for estimates, proposals, drawings and takeoffs
• Direct mentorship from experienced PMs and Superintendents, not a rotation through busywork
• Real project ownership — interns present and play a part in team meetings, not just take notes in them
• A clear path: strong interns get first consideration for full-time PE roles after graduation
• Competitive pay, an excellent collaborative work environment and team that's genuinely invested in your career, not just your summer
• Those who are currently pursuing a degree in Construction Management, Construction Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field
• Strong communicators who are comfortable asking questions and eager to learn about our exciting and growing industry
• Willingness and ability to work as a collaborative team and make a meaningful contribution
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
