Construction Project Intern - Summer 2027

Construction Project Intern

Construction Management / Engineering Internship

About the Role

Russell is taking applications for 2027 Construction Project Interns now! Join our project teams for hands-on exposure to how commercial construction actually gets built — from preconstruction through closeout. This isn't a shadow-and-observe internship. You'll be paired with a Project Manager or Superintendent, carry real responsibilities, and see your work show up on an actual jobsite.

How You’ll Contribute

• Support Project Managers with RFIs, submittals, and change orders in Procore

• Assist with scheduling coordination and subcontractor communication

• Participate in jobsite walks, safety meetings and inspections, quality control and progress documentation

• Help track project progress and organize projects files, subcontracts and purchase orders.

• Compile punchlists and close out documentation

• Shadow estimating and preconstruction on active pursuits; gather information for estimates, proposals, drawings and takeoffs

Why Russell

• Direct mentorship from experienced PMs and Superintendents, not a rotation through busywork

• Real project ownership — interns present and play a part in team meetings, not just take notes in them

• A clear path: strong interns get first consideration for full-time PE roles after graduation
