Interns are provided with the opportunity to work with a team through all the phases of a construction project. Practical experience gained from Clune's Internship Program may supplement education from your University.

Responsibilities

Clune Project Management interns will learn the various parts of a life-cycle of a project while assisting project teams. They gain experience coordinating with and issuing information to subcontractors. Their teams will demonstrate how to communicate with clients, architects, and engineers and provide experience in various meetings. Clune's Project Management Interns leave the program with a better understanding of drawings, contract documents and the importance of project documentation.

Field Interns will spend time working with a Clune Superintendent on one or more job sites. They learn the ins-and-outs of building a job in a hands-on environment. Interns in the field will coordinate with subcontractors, assist with safety and logistics, and learn about project scheduling. Clune Superintendent Interns leave the program with a better understanding of quality control, punch lists, drawing sets and various building rules and regulations.

Beyond their regular duties, interns engage in an eight-week long Intern Learning Project that exposes them to the entire lifecycle of a construction project. Weekly sessions are led by our in-house Subject Matter Experts, including Superintendents from the field and Project Managers from the office, supplemented by presentations from departments such as Marketing, Communications, Accounting, Safety, and Risk Management. At the project's conclusion, interns collaborate in teams to present their findings and insights to office leadership.
