To meet the needs of the Church, we seek to build teams that represent the diverse perspectives, broad life experiences and backgrounds of our global Church membership. With that in mind, we encourage all qualified applicants to apply.
Job Description
This internship is primarily educational in nature and is designed to provide BYU–Hawaii Facility and Construction Management students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences within the Meetinghouse Facilities Department (MFD).
