Vivmark Residential has Construction Intern positions in New Construction. We are looking for the right candidate to join our construction team as a Construction Intern. The internship will be located at one or more construction projects in the Vivmark Construction markets.

As a Construction Intern, you will gain experience in the construction management of multi-family apartment communities. Our goal is to provide you with a wide range of hands-on experiences over the summer.

New Construction:
An internship on a new construction site will provide exposure to a variety of stages in the construction management process such as site and concrete work, framing, rough mechanicals, finishes, budgeting and scheduling. The Construction Intern will collaborate with Superintendents, Project Managers, Subcontractors, Lead Engineers and Architects, gaining an advanced understanding of the different roles that are required for successful construction projects.

They will also learn how changes, clarifications, directives, RFIs, are updated in real-time and coordinated with team members and subcontractors and suppliers to maintain smooth and efficient schedules.

In addition to the above hands-on experiences, all Construction Interns participate in a Summer Learning Series led by Vivmark Construction leaders. The Summer Learning Series gives you an opportunity to meet the leaders, learn about other roles in the Construction industry, and the overall construction processes at Vivmark.

Vivmark Residential has a commitment to integrity—doing the right thing, always. The Construction Intern will learn about our Incident and Injury-Free Workplace safety culture, how to recognize and reinforce best safety practices, and gain a comprehensive understanding of different safety laws and regulations.

Qualified candidates must be enrolled in an undergraduate Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related program. Prior construction-related internships or work experience is beneficial but not required.
