Civil Engineering Intern

May - August 2017 • Orlando, FL

What I liked

Great Professional Development Program, rotating interns throughout the company, giving them a broad exposure. Great company culture, with helpful employees willing to help interns learn new skills and super fun planned activities on the weekends for the interns. I was able to work in the company's transportation and logistics department, helping coordinate concrete piece shipments to many of their job sites in the Orlando area, as well as work in the production facility, getting hands on experience building rebar frames and pouring precast concrete. The company also had a great mentoring program where we paired up with a full-time employee that graduated from the same college and helped us become part of the company and learn more about the career path.

What I wish was different

Advice

The career fair was a great opportunity to immerse myself and learn about different types of civil engineering companies, even within civil engineering there are so many different types of companies with different things to offer. As a sophomore last year I didn't have any internship experience but there were still companies out there that were looking for sophomores and those without much experience. I went to almost every Civil Engineering booth and only heard back from a couple or was told to apply online, but I took the one company that got back to me and tried to do a good job during the application/interview process.

Architecture Intern

June - August 2018 • Apopka, FL

What I liked

It was an all-encompassing internship where I was able to see multiple parts of the construction process during my time there

What I wish was different

Nothing. It was very well organized. I really enjoyed my experience there and learned a lot that I am now using at school as well as being able to take to future jobs

Advice

Take any job experience that you can get. It is a lot different than learning the material in school and the real world application is something that will benefit you far into the future in whatever you decide to do.
