Construction Management Intern:

What We Look For
Each summer, students participate in our program and deploy to Barton Malow jobsites and offices around the country. We encourage students who are enrolled in construction management, architectural, civil, or another relevant degree program to apply. We want students who are serious about their education and look for a GPA of 3.0 or higher, as well as involvement in student organizations and demonstrated leadership among peers. Finally, we’re looking for flexibility and students willing to go where the opportunities are.
Ultimately, converting students into full-time team members is the goal. Many students intern with Barton Malow for one, two, or three rotations prior to accepting a full-time position.
How to Apply
Applications for the summer internship program open in the fall for the following summer. If you don’t see any internship positions open, all of our spots are most likely filled. If you meet the program requirements, a member of the Barton Malow Human Resources team will reach out to discuss your experience, interests, flexibility and interest to travel, and what you’re looking to get out of a summer internship. Our team will extend offers before the end of the calendar year in which you apply.
Interns will be notified of their job placement two to three months prior to the beginning of the program. The summer internship program begins in May and is a 12-week commitment.
