Summer Construction Internship

Overaa's Summer Internship Program is a hands-on training experience designed to give students meaningful exposure to careers in the construction industry. Interns work alongside experienced mentors, contribute to real projects, and gain firsthand experience with a general contractor that also self-performs construction work.

Depending on project and business needs, interns may gain exposure to Project Management, Engineering, Estimating, or Safety. You'll apply concepts from the classroom to real construction challenges while learning how our project teams plan, coordinate, and execute work in the field and office.

Throughout the summer, you'll also have opportunities to learn about Overaa's broader operations through jobsite tours, company events, and interactions with professionals from across the organization. Our goal is to give you meaningful experience, help you better understand where your interests lie within construction, and build relationships that can continue well beyond the internship.
