Butt Construction Company, Inc.

Construction Management Intern

January - May 2025 • Beavercreek, OH

What I liked

The thing I liked the most about my experience here was that I gained a lot of experience with multiple tasks. Another aspect that I liked is that I always had something to do. I hear that some of my classmates don't have very much work to do or don't gain a lot of experience. So, I am very thankful that my term here was productive. Also, the culture here at Butt Construction is amazing. Everyone seems to have good relationships and knows everyone pretty well.

Engineering Co-op

January - May 2022 • Wright-Patterson AFB, OH

What I liked

Overall, I had a wonderful experience working with BCC. My supervisors and fellow co-workers were very kind and welcoming, creating an ideal work environment. Also, I enjoyed having the opportunity to work on the job site and be a part of the construction process. It was great to see the the behind the scenes of what goes into a project. I was able to learn key aspects from a managerial prospective.

What I wish was different

Although I had experienced a great deal of construction process, I wish I had been more a part of the overall engineering plans/process. Also, I would have documented the construction process better, photos/written accounts, for future reference. I wish I would have challenged myself more to be put into more engineering related problem solving situations. In addition, I wish I could have connected more with the other intern before being put on separate projects.

Advice

I would recommend to never be afraid to ask any type of question; the supervisors are always willing to share any info about the project or construction in general. Also, I recommend to take every opportunity to see the various construction being done. Take a mental note of any mistakes made, to apply it to a similar situation you may have in the future. Hold yourself accountable and be sure to stay on the tasks given to you. Never be discouraged if you may not understand a certain part of the project, someone will be willing to fill you in.
