MEB Summer 2027 Internship Program - Project Engineer Track

Build Your Future in Construction

The MEB Summer 2027 Internship Program - Project Engineer Track provides aspiring construction professionals with hands-on experience supporting active projects in both the field and office.

As an intern, you will work alongside Project Managers, Project Engineers, Superintendents, and field teams to learn how complex construction projects are planned, coordinated, and delivered. You will gain exposure to project documentation, subcontractor coordination, material procurement, scheduling, quality control, safety, and other essential project management functions.

MEB's internship program is designed to help you connect what you are learning in the classroom to real-world construction. Your specific responsibilities will depend on your assigned project, its current phase, and the needs of the project team.

Throughout the summer, you may also gain exposure to other areas of the company, including estimating, field operations, and site supervision. At the conclusion of the program, you will complete a capstone project demonstrating your understanding of the project you supported and the experience you gained.

What You'll Do

• Spend time in the field learning how MEB crews and subcontractors perform their work while observing construction methods, quality standards, safety requirements, and daily site operations.
• Assist with project management processes, including submittals, RFIs, change orders, material purchasing and tracking, progress documentation, quality control inspections, and project closeout.
• Review and help coordinate submittals from subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers.
• Support the Project Manager and Superintendent with tracking job progress and updating project schedules.
• Participate in project meetings and be prepared to provide updates on assigned responsibilities.

• Help prepare and organize documentation for permits, special inspections, utility coordination, and Miss Utility requests.
• Gain exposure to estimating, project engineering, field supervision, and the collaboration required to successfully deliver a construction project.
• Complete a capstone project summarizing your experience and key takeaways from the internship.

What We're Looking For
