At Alberici, our interns work on a variety of projects in a number of markets (including Building, Energy, Healthcare, Heavy Industrial, Safety, Structural Steel, Water/Wastewater, as well as in Detailing, Estimating, and in Marketing) so it is hard to nail down a typical day because they are anything but typical.
A standard day would include project staff & owner/subcontractor meetings, walking the project site, checking on the status of materials ordered, working on submittals, RFI’s, Corrective Action Reports, etc.
Adam Gacioch, A Project Engineer who spent two summers in the internship program, detailed a typical day working in our Healthcare market:
