Continental Building Company

“For my first co-op experience, I worked with Continental Building Company as a Project Engineer/Project Manager Intern. The project is a $35 million Senior Living Community that consists of six residential floors and one floor of mixed-use common areas. I enjoyed working with the team and learning the unique perspectives they brought with their different roles. I was able to observe and walk with the Superintendents who were knowledgeable of the responsibilities of each trade. My mentor, the Project Manager, provided me with thorough advice and guidance while working with the budget along with an understanding of the overall project. The project was in the finishing stages when I started. I got heavily involved with closeout submittals and the punch list for floors two-seven. Continental's company culture made me feel welcome and apart of the team. This is an excellent company to work with. Overall, the experience created by Continental provided me a well-rounded understanding of construction management and the interconnectedness of Civil Engineering to the job. ”
