Job description

When you join our team at Lithko Contracting, you are building your career alongside the leaders in concrete construction.

We apply our expertise across industries from industrial and manufacturing facilities to healthcare and educational institutions to chip plants and data centers. Annually, we place over 100 million square feet of concrete and earn over $2 billion in revenue.

With a nationwide presence of over 27 locations and more than 6,500 coworkers, you'll find endless opportunities to develop your skills, grow your career, and build beyond expectations.

As a Concrete Construction Intern, you'll spend approximately 12 weeks learning the fundamentals of concrete construction on the job site. Your dedicated manager and mentors are invested in your success as you are introduced to various phases of work. Through our integration (training) program, you have the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills that will be applicable inside and outside of the classroom.

Intern Responsibilities

• Actively utilize your resources, including managers and mentors, to understand the project scope and schedule and the plans for safety and quality.
• Impact the project by developing plans to execute work objectives, track your progress, and replan based on feedback and performance.
• Manage the daily safety, quality, and execution of your work objectives.
• Learn through hands‑on performance with our teams through the daily preparation plan and the project execution process.
• Your specific duties will evolve as your skills and interests develop. Throughout your internship, you may be responsible for: field engineering (line and grade), forming walls and columns, inspections, loadout, place finish, prep & forming structural slabs, production tracking, quantity take‑offs, slab on grade prep, slab on metal deck prep, and more!
• We are looking for people who have a drive to excel. Our interns do not always have experience on a commercial construction site. We will empower you with what you need to succeed on the job. Our most successful intern candidates are action‑oriented, collaborative, and eager to learn.
• You'll be joining a team that builds. Our construction sites can have rough terrain and are operational during inclement weather (as long as it is safe). Your work hours may fluctuate based on the project activities. As an integral part of the team, you have a reliable method of getting to job sites daily and on time.
• We build impressive structures. You will likely perform labor at elevation, sometimes at heights multiple stories above ground level. While on the job site, you may need to lift at least 50 pounds.
• Safety is paramount. Your job offer will be contingent upon a successful drug test.
