Description

Students may obtain construction management and engineering experience on many different levels during summer months, away from school by working at one or several jobsites. The student will work with members of the project team in order to become familiar with construction industry planning, design, and field operations. Actual duties will depend on the project needs at the time of the internship, the student's education and previous training, the ability of the student to master the assigned tasks, and the University's internship program requirements (if applicable).

Time will be split between the office and field operations allowing interaction with clients, subcontractors, and coworkers alike. The knowledge obtained from this program can help to further education and experience and is a great tool in preparing for a career in the construction industries.

Please email completed application and required documents to Jackson Cooper at JacksonC@ghilotti.com

Description

As Engineering Program Associate, you will be a key supplement to the Build Change Engineering Program by providing expertise, mentorship and quality assurance to programs and projects globally. You will be able to work directly with the engineering teams which are composed of national and international staff, travel to program offices and new project locations, and apply your experience and knowledge in structural engineering to new contexts and systems which may not already have well-established standards. You will be able to support multiple facets of Build Change’s work: mitigation and reduction of risk from the next disaster through optimizing solutions for proactive retrofitting of housing and schools at scale; ensuring communities are empowered to reconstruct to disaster-resistant standards through developing and teaching cost-effective, locally appropriate, and clear guidelines for design and construction of houses and schools; and helping to make solutions permanent and sustainable by working with local professionals and governments to institutionalize them.
