What are the responsibilities and job description for the SUMMER / WINTER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM position at Claris?
Internships, Status: Open
CT - Newtown
Posted 1 day ago
Objective
The intern will spend a flexible period (based on candidate’s availability and/or interest) rotating amongst different areas of the design/build process. In doing so, the intern will be exposed to different concepts, techniques, processes, and managerial styles that will aid in an understanding for how all parties work together collaboratively, which replicates how we operate at Claris. At the end of the program, we hope the intern has a confident understanding of design/build and the different tasks required by every department to complete a project. The uniqueness of our program is that interns are not locked into a rotating schedule. Although this flex-rotational schedule provides a glimpse into the design-build world, we are open to inviting students/graduates who strictly want to dedicate their time to one area (design, project management, field work).
Claris is a unique firm to work for. Our methodology of having both Design and Construction professionals working side by side produces what we believe to be a superior product. Imagine working for a true Design/Build company that not only designs the product in-house, but then builds it with our Construction Management team.
What does that mean? Minimal change orders, minimal RFI’s, problems solved with a phone call, and no finger pointing. You will receive instant feedback from our construction team on constructability and cost, ensuring that your design works, therefore minimizing the potential for redesign.
Claris is a great place to work. We are looking for motivated individuals that have a positive attitude, a good sense of humor, and replicate our core values: Competency, Effort, Selflessness, and Attitude. We are looking for professionals who want to jump in and help grow our very busy design team, who have been with Claris for the entire 31 years of Claris’ existence.
