This season can be particularly rough on second and final year students who are looking for career opportunities. Employers have different timescales, different application processes, dates, requirements etc which can be tricky to manage. For the last few years, The Land Collective have been creating and sharing trackers with our community members, so they can focus on creating quality applications and not on figuring out which applications are open or wondering what the application process will feature - it has proven very successful, so we've decided to change it slightly. Starting this year, this tracker will be live, meaning it will be updated regularly and will feature graduate programmes, apprenticeships, summer internships and pre-university opportunities such as insight days for students currently not at university yet. The types of employers featured in this tracker are: Civil engineering firms, property consultancies, estate agents, developers, planners, construction companies and more. If you know students who would find this helpful, please share with them! In my aim to become more comfortable on camera, I've filmed a bit of an intro and walkthrough 😊

Meet our current #Summer2024 #intern, Matthew Bond, George Mason University class of #2026. Why FHWA Central Federal Lands? CFL offers a very hands-on experience where not only do I get an in-person introduction to the #constructionfield, but I get to do so in our #nationalparks and other amazing areas! How Your Experience Has Been So Far: This #internship has gone beyond what I’ve expected I’ve had the #incredibleopportunity to be on the construction site almost daily shadowing the #siteinspectors and learning directly from our #projectengineer. What have you been working on? I’m mainly working on the scenic loop repair project in Theodore Roosevelt National Park south unit in #NorthDakota. A typical day on site I shadow the inspectors and get to learn about project operations, design implementations, and everything else there is to know about a construction site. At the end of the day, I write a daily report on what I’ve observed and learned throughout the day. What have you learned so far? I’ve learned much about #roadwaydesign, how they’re built, and the challenges associated with the process. By being included in project meetings I have gained a basic understanding of the administrative side of project operations as well.

The debate is over! Interns who have great hands-on experiences like to tell everyone about it. In this video, Nolan, a WisDOT Civil Engineer and former intern, talks at a roundabout project on the State Highway 60 Roadway at Eagle Drive in Jackson, Wisconsin. It is just another day in the life of thousands of construction workers across the U.S. As a construction intern Nolan shared the value of watching something get built while being outside rather than sitting in the office all day. I love this quote: “Working this summer felt less of like a business and more of like a learning community. Everyone was willing to help me. Everyone was willing to teach me. I really enjoyed that and I felt like it would be a great way to spend the rest of my career.” He got to see different job sites and experience different things. He saw that as very valuable in assessing what he wanted to do with his future and chose WisDOT. Principles were most likely at the heart of the way the internship was constructed. So, add that to your punch list. I acknowledge WisDOT for designing a wonderful hands-on internship program and engineering this 2-minute video. They have cemented a positive impression on me and everyone who surveys their work. No need to go in circles in a roundabout. The debate is over. Hands-on experiences are valued by interns. P.S. Now, what would your intern say about their internship with you? No judgment, just look. #management #innovation #internships #wisconsin

It's National Engineering Week! Here's to all the engineers out there doing what they can to solve problems, no matter your field. Photo throwback to my internship with Kiewit Engineering. #engineering #construction #internship #problemsolvers #contech #kiewit

Intern Spotlight! ✨ Name: Amaresh Kumar Tavva What school do you attend? I am getting my Masters of Science in Construction Management at Clemson University. How did you find your internship here at Ruby-Collins? I found this internship through one of my friends who was an intern last year! Then I applied online and started the interview process. Why did you choose a major/internship in the construction industry? I have a passion for working on real and practical projects. There is a deep sense of pride and satisfaction that comes with building structures from seeing a project through conception to completion. What do you do outside of school for fun? I love reading books, traveling to new places, learning how to invest, and watching lots of movies. What is your favorite part of your internship so far? My favorite part of this internship is working in the trenchless division. Being involved in a tunneling project has always been one of my dreams. What was your childhood dream job? To work as a Marine Engineer! #TeamWork #RubyCollins #Georgia #Intern #Internship #ApplyOnline

Urban Infraconstruction LLC ; Investing for The Future to follow. As a parent of a son in his (near) mid 20s who has benefited from a Career Development Opportunity similar to this, I can personally say these opportunities that are surfacing at a rapid rate give legitimacy to the idea that beginning a career in the Construction Industry isn’t a fallback option and furthermore provides a sustainable career path that what some once considered/still consider a dead end. Traditional schooling still holds validity, I will never argue that. What I will say is that not everyone is cutout for “The typical”. I applaud 👏🏼 Urban Infraconstruction LLC and the many Universities & Players in this industry for opening a lane that has The World of Yellow Iron, Dirt, Concrete, roads, dams, bridges, etc. “sexy” once again. #careerinconstruction #uta #UTAArlington #internshipopportunities Justin Csader Urban Infraconstruction LLC #investinginthefuture

#InternationalMinnesota and #IntlMav present Interns! Intern: Nathan from #Vietnam Position: Field Technician; Haley and Aldrich - #CivilEngineering Q: What is one important skill you learned during your internship that you wouldn't have been able to learn in a classroom? A: One important skill that I learned during my internship is to always be ready for anything. Asking for more job exposure, so that I can learn more about a specific path in my major. Q: Did the internship prepare you for a career in your field? A: I think the internship has equipped me well; not only applied knowledge from school but also learned how can contribute to communities through my career. What would it be if you could choose your dream job? Why? A: If I could choose a dream job, I will have my own construction company specializing in prefabricated homes. I want to provide affordable housing for communities that are less fortunate. Q: What is the best tip you can offer other international students trying to secure an internship? A: That being said, the best tipI can offer you, who are securing your internship is that. “Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.”— Tim Ferriss. That being said, so keep believing in yourself, keep looking and you will find what is meant for you.
