Summer Intern 2027

Ready to kick-start your career in construction? Kaufman Lynn’s paid, full-time Summer Internship Program gives you the chance to dive into one of four tracks—Field , Project Management , Estimating ,** or Safety** —working side by side with our teams on real projects that mirror our entry-level roles. Along the way, you’ll tour active jobsites, sharpen your skills in workshops, connect with leaders, and give back to the community. It’s more than just a summer job—it’s your opportunity to explore the industry, build your resume, and see what a future in construction management could look like with one of the nation’s top builders.

Job Summary

Interns will select a focus area from one of three tracks. Each provides direct mentorship, exposure to KL’s systems and processes, and real-world learning opportunities aligned with our entry-level career paths.

• Field Track – Step into a role similar to our entry-level Field Engineers, shadowing a Superintendent on an active jobsite. You’ll gain experience in scheduling, safety, quality control, subcontractor coordination, and close-out activities. By the end of the summer, you’ll understand the fundamentals of jobsite management and the Superintendent’s role in delivering a successful project.
• Project Management Track – Work closely with Project Managers and Assistant Project Managers in a role similar to our entry-level Project Engineers. You’ll learn the documentation, systems, and communication that drive projects from preconstruction through close-out, including RFIs, submittals, trade coordination, and change orders.
• Estimating Track – Join our preconstruction team in a role similar to an entry-level Estimator. You’ll gain exposure to take-offs, bid reviews, and proposal preparation while learning how preconstruction and cost analysis shape the success of a project before it breaks ground
• Safety Track - At KL, you’ll gain hands-on experience similar to an entry-level Safety Coordinator, working alongside project teams to support jobsite safety. Responsibilities include reviewing safety documentation, observing worker activities for compliance, and participating in site safety assessments.
