We have a reputation of offering a strong internship and co-op experience to Engineering and Construction Management Students. We believe our interns and co-ops should be offered an experience as true to real life as we can make it.

Major responsibilities include:

• Shop Drawings – expedite, review, and coordinate shop drawings and submittals for projects under construction.

• Drawing Updates – incorporate revisions to contract documents as necessary to keep jobsite or office copies “up to date”. This will involve “posting” of construction change bulletins on blueprints and in specifications.
• RFIs (Requests for Information) – evaluate problems in the field, or discrepancies and problems with the drawings. You would determine the cause of the problem, document it, produce sketches for clarification, and submit RFI’s to the designer.  Then follow through to make sure the issue is resolved and the answer gets to the field to not delay construction.
• Change Orders – You may assist in organizing and estimating change order work for projects under construction. This will include contacting subcontractors to get their pricing, estimating quantities for Cullen’s work, comparing changed work to original takeoff, and helping the Project Manager put together a complete cost proposal.
• Scheduling – Using Primavera’s P3 scheduling program, you may be assigned to update, print, and distribute schedules for project. This would involve direct conversation with the responsible superintendent and with subcontractors for data input.
• Drawing – produce miscellaneous sketches and drawings as requested by the Project Manager or Superintendent. These may include formwork, embed locations, miscellaneous metal items, site layouts, etc.  Drawings are usually done for the field and are intended to translate difficult drawing information into something the field can use to build.  May be done with paper and pencil or with a CAD program.

• Project Closeout – prepare project closeout documents, which will include updating “as-built” information on the contract drawings and organization of record documents and warranties. You will expedite warranty and O&M manual submission from subcontractors.
• Deliveries – You may be procuring materials for the project. With direction from the PM or Superintendent, you would set up a log, prepare a delivery schedule, find problems, visit suppliers, track shipments, check materials, and make sure they are labeled and stored properly.
• Monitoring Subcontractors – You may work with subcontractors to monitor their work, ensure they will make their schedules, monitor their manpower, and monitor/inspect the quality of their work and compliance with specifications and drawings.
• Coordination Meetings – prepare agendas for and participate in weekly jobsite meetings where schedule is discussed in detail, and subcontractors coordinate their work. You would produce minutes from those meetings, and follow up that subs meet their commitments.
• Backcharge Tickets and Extra Work tickets – You may prepare summaries of labor and material costs for backcharge or extra work, provide appropriate explanation and get agreement and signatures from subcontractors and owners.
