Virtual Construction Intern

Job Description:

Join HITT's award-winning Futures Program as a Virtual Construction Intern and gain hands-on experience at the intersection of construction and technology with a top national general contractor.

If you're curious about how buildings come together and excited by the role technology plays in modern construction, this immersive 10-week internship provides meaningful project exposure from day one. You'll work alongside experienced professionals who are committed to elevating the business of building through innovation, collaboration, and practical problem-solving.

As part of our Virtual Construction team, you'll support active projects using 3D models, coordination workflows, and cloud-based collaboration platforms that help teams build more efficiently and with greater clarity. You'll see how digital tools connect design teams, field operations, and clients - improving constructability, reducing risk, and preventing issues before they reach the jobsite.

Through individual mentorship, hands-on learning, professional networking events, and career development courses, you'll build technical skills, strengthen communication abilities, and gain practical experience that prepares you for careers in project engineering, digital delivery, or virtual construction.
