Craftsman Electric is looking for a motivated, organized student to join our project management team as a Project Coordinator Intern. This role supports our Project Managers on commercial electrical construction projects from award through closeout. You will get hands-on exposure to how projects are planned, documented, procured, and delivered, working alongside experienced PMs, field supervisors, and estimators. This internship is built for students considering a career in construction management and offers real responsibility, not just busy work.

• Currently pursuing an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; able to manage multiple deadlines.
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, especially Excel and Outlook.
• Willingness to learn, ask questions, and take ownership of assigned tasks.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for occasional jobsite visits.

• Coursework or prior experience in construction, the trades, or project coordination.
• Familiarity with reading construction drawings or blueprints.
• Exposure to project management or document control software (e.g., Procore, Bluebeam).

• Assist with new project setup, including job files, contact lists, schedules, and document folders.
• Help prepare, submit, and track submittals and RFIs; maintain logs and follow up on open items with vendors, GCs, and engineers.
• Support material procurement by tracking purchase orders, delivery dates, and backorders, and communicating status to the PM and field.
• Maintain project documentation such as drawings, revisions, change order logs, and meeting minutes, keeping everything current and organized.
• Attend project meetings (in-office and occasionally on site) and take notes and action items.
• Assist with permit, inspection, and certificate tracking.
• Help assemble closeout packages, including O&M manuals, warranties, as-builts, and punch list tracking.
• Update project schedules and trackers in Excel and company project management software.
• Complete special projects and other duties as assigned to support the project management team.

• Real-world experience on commercial electrical projects across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
• Mentorship from experienced Project Managers and field leadership.
• An inside look at the full project lifecycle, from preconstruction through closeout.
• A potential pathway to full-time Project Coordinator or Assistant Project Manager opportunities.

Work is primarily performed in an office setting. Occasional visits to active construction sites are required, where the intern must follow all Craftsman Electric safety policies and wear required PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, high-visibility vest). Jobsite visits may involve walking on uneven surfaces, climbing stairs, and exposure to noise and outdoor weather conditions.
