Landmark Builders is seeking a Summer Intern for its office in Columbia, South Carolina. The Summer Internship Program is designed to give college students hands‑on experience in commercial construction and is the first step toward a rewarding career as a Project Manager or Project Superintendent. Interns rotate between active construction sites and the home office, with most time spent in the field, learning alongside experienced Project Managers, Superintendents, and field personnel while contributing to real project work.
Many former interns have gone on to launch their careers at Landmark, building on the skills and relationships developed through this program.
