JOB OVERVIEW

We are now accepting applications for our 2027 Summer Internship Program in our Orange office (proudly awarded Top Workplace status!). This full-time, fully paid summer position runs for 10 weeks from late May to mid-August 2027. 

As a Project Engineer Intern, you will not sit on the sidelines. We tailor your placement prior to your start date to match your specific career interests - whether that is in project management, estimating, or another business unit. Depending on the track, you will work out of the office, on active commercial jobsites, or a mix of both. No matter what your area of focus is, you will work directly with a dedicated team and have a personally assigned 1-to-1 mentor to act as your coach, provide regular feedback, and ensure you gain marketable, real-world experience.

The internship concludes with a final professional review of your time at Raymond. This gives you a direct opportunity to step into a professional conversation with our Executive and Operations Team to share exactly what you achieved over the summer. 

Typical Responsibilities 

Depending on your specific role and department placement, your summer experience may include activities such as: 

• Project Administration & Operations: Participating in contract reviews, processing submittals, managing RFI logs, and assisting with purchase orders and change orders.
• Project Lifecycle: Contributing to initial project take-offs and compiling final project close-out documentation. 
• Planning & Scheduling: Assisting our professionals in tracking and maintaining master schedules to ensure cost, safety, and quality benchmarks are met.
• Team Collaboration: Attending internal operational and departmental meetings to see firsthand how decisions are made.
• Field Exposure: Visiting active project construction sites to see our specialty craftsmanship in action and watch our planning become a reality.
• Quality & Safety Walks: Reviewing active project sites to observe safety standards and conduct quality-control inspections alongside our experts. 

What We Offer 

• A 10-Week Program: Our internship is a competitive, full-time, and fully paid summer position.
• Custom Placement: We align your summer work with your specific career interests so you can test out a path that matches your long-term professional goals.
• Executive Exposure: Direct access to network with, learn from, and present to top management and executive leadership at Raymond.
• 1-to-1 Mentorship: You are paired with a dedicated mentor who acts as your direct coach, answers your questions, and provides regular, constructive feedback. 
• Comprehensive Training: We provide on-the-job and technical training designed to build a solid professional foundation.
• Real Responsibility: Joining an active project or departmental team, you will be given meaningful, high-impact responsibilities while also working with others on solving the real-world operational challenges we navigate every day.
• Professional Skills Development: Working directly with executive leadership, mentors, and HR professionals, you will refine the critical skills needed to successfully transition from the classroom to your chosen career.
• Future Consideration: High-performing interns join our elite talent pipeline and are evaluated for potential full-time opportunities upon graduation.
