Building Intern information

What is a building intern?

Building Interns are entry-level professionals who assist with various aspects of building management, construction, or architectural projects. Their responsibilities often include supporting senior staff, conducting site visits, helping with project documentation, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Building Interns gain hands-on experience in the field, which helps them develop the skills necessary for a future career in construction management, architecture, or facilities operations. This role is often taken by students or recent graduates seeking practical exposure in the industry.

What types of projects and tasks can a building intern expect to work on during their internship?

As a Building Intern, you will typically assist with a variety of tasks such as site visits, preparing construction documents, updating project plans, and supporting project managers with administrative duties. You may also help coordinate communication between contractors, architects, and engineers, gaining exposure to the full project lifecycle. This hands-on experience is valuable for understanding construction processes and developing skills relevant to future roles in architecture, engineering, or construction management.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a building intern, and why are they important?

A Building Intern typically needs a foundational understanding of construction principles, basic engineering or architecture coursework, and enrollment in a relevant degree program. Familiarity with industry-standard software like AutoCAD, Revit, and Microsoft Office, as well as compliance with safety regulations, is commonly expected. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help interns collaborate successfully and adapt to dynamic jobsite environments. These competencies are vital to ensure projects run smoothly, support learning, and contribute meaningfully to construction teams.

The Healthy Aging Intern will play an important role in supporting our age-friendly initiatives and community health efforts. This position will assist with project coordination, proofreading and editing the Healthy Aging Resource Guide, and gathering research and data to strengthen our programs and planning. The intern will have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects that promote quality of life for older adults while building professional skills in project management, community health, and communications. This internship will require in-person activities at our Allentown, PA office.

Responsibilities
General Internship Information
  • Internships at UWGLV are available in most of our business areas year-round. We are highly flexible with start and end dates for internships.
  • Open to individuals of any age over 14, in a formal educational program or not, who demonstrate they are developing new professional skills and would benefit from the opportunity to work and learn in our organization.
  • Will work on projects that go beyond that which the organization expected to accomplish with regular employees and which are not core to the achievement of the organization's mission.
  • An intern is expected to get as much from the work experience at UWGLV as UWGLV gets from the intern. The supervisor of an intern anticipates a "break-even" exchange of time invested in mentoring the intern versus work product contributed to the organization.
  • It is not the purpose or intention of this program to allow prospective employees to "work for free" to demonstrate their skill set or prove their suitability for employment. 
  • May serve as an intern for no more than 1 year or no more than 950 hours.

Requirements
At least 18 years old
Have a HS diploma or G.E.D.
