Construction Internships and early career
At Thompson Construction, our internships provide a meaningful, hands-on field experience to prepare you for a career in the construction industry. Interns are assigned to a job site and work to build their skills around construction management and the various business needs of the project. They work hand in hand with their supervisor as well as their mentor to build the industry knowledge and leadership skills needed to make immediate impact upon workforce entry. Join us this summer and realize your potential!

Interning for Thompson Construction Group was the best experience in preparing me for a full-time role in the company. The hands-on training helped me learn skills I now use every day. I was given responsibilities that made a direct impact on the job. I learned more about construction and my future career during my internships than I did in the classroom.
Jon Deutsch, Assistant Project Manager
A construction geared college education gives the opportunity to learn terminology and gain a general understanding of numerous items. However, it was during my internships where I was immersed in the field day-to-day operation where I put “faces to the names." Now working four years full-time, followed by two years interning, I still make some decisions based upon my experience learned as an intern. The days spent “in the weeds," has given me insight into the unique variables found on-site and I find that perspective aiding in decisions relating to schedule, cost, and overall management situations.
Michael Benko, Assistant Project Manager
From my first day as an intern, I was treated as a valuable member of the site team and not just an intern for the summer. I was given a mini-project to complete within the larger job and given a fair amount of freedom to make my own decisions. The challenges and opportunities I had during my internship helped shape my early career and instill confidence in my abilities. I do not doubt that without my internship or the team around me, I would not have been able to grow and succeed as well in my full-time position.
