About Us

At DBI Consultants, we are construction experts who specialize in evaluating damaged structures. Our mission is simple: provide clear, independent, and accurate recommendations backed by hard evidence and deep expertise. In a world of uncertainty, we bring our clients clarity and confidence.

Job Description

As a Construction Consultant Intern, you’ll work alongside seasoned professionals to learn how damage assessment projects are scoped, budgeted, and evaluated. You’ll gain real‑world experience both in the field and in the office — from visiting sites to gathering data to helping prepare cost estimates.

What You’ll Do
  • Assist with site visits to collect measurements, photos, and project details.
  • Support the analysis of labor, materials, and timelines for project estimates.
  • Help track costs and flag differences between projected and actual figures.
  • Learn to prepare professional reports and data entries in estimating tools.
  • Gain exposure to industry software like Xactimate, Bluebeam Revu, and project scheduling tools.
What You Bring
  • Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, or related field.
  • Strong interest in construction consulting, estimating, and problem‑solving.
  • Comfortable working in both office and field environments.
  • Detail‑oriented, organized, and eager to learn.
  • Willingness to travel locally and occasionally work at heights.
Why DBI
  • Hands‑on learning from experienced construction experts.
  • Opportunities to build professional skills that set a foundation for your career.
  • A collaborative, team‑oriented environment.

The work requires close visual acuity, with or without correction, to prepare reports containing words, symbols, and numerical figures; the incumbent is required to view a computer terminal, use a keyboard, read printed documents, make detailed visual inspections, perceive color, perceive depth, and have a sufficient field of vision to carry out all inspection and related duties.
