Construction Project Engineer - Intern

Overview

Step into the fast-paced world of industrial construction with an internship that goes beyond basic observation. As a Construction Project Engineer Intern at TAI, you will be an active participant in the entire project lifecycle—from initial conceptual estimating and value engineering to on-site mobilization and final closeout. You will work across high-impact sectors like life sciences and chemical manufacturing, collaborating with design teams and subcontractors to ensure facilities are built to the highest standards.

This is a hands-on opportunity to master the mechanics of project management and bridge the gap between classroom theory and the execution of world-class infrastructure.

TAI is a full-service, multi-disciplinary engineering and construction firm built to scale; delivering mission-critical, integrated solutions across the full design–build–maintain lifecycle. For more than 35 years, TAI has partnered with leading organizations in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, food and beverage, energy, and government to design, build, and sustain complex facilities and infrastructure. Our five core service pillars are Engineering, Construction, Systems Integration, On-Site Services, and Technical Services.

Our unified approach combines precision engineering, field execution, and technical depth to deliver end-to-end results that drive reliability, safety, and long-term value for our clients.
