Job Description
DPR Construction is seeking interns for our Build Up High School Internship in Construction Management. Tool belts not required! Interns will work in the job trailer, side-by-side with a project team building a major commercial construction project. Interns will learn about managing a multi-million-dollar project, the innovative technology used for planning, scheduling and design, and the wide range of professional roles needed to build great buildings.
Working with a team of mentors, interns will spend 35-40 hours a week on an active construction jobsite, assisting with important project functions including subcontractor coordination, document control, quality inspections, schedule updates, safety training, and site plan updates.
Build Up interns will be paid on an hourly basis.
Exact role will vary based on assigned project. The interns will work closely with members of the project team and will be responsible for participating in the following tasks:
Be responsible for a range of entry-level construction management assignments, working both alongside mentors and independently.

Develop presentation skills that will prepare them for future educational and career pursuits, as well as increase confidence in their abilities and leadership capacity.

To achieve this goal, DPR will:
