The main difference between a Project Engineering Intern and a Mechanical Engineering Intern lies in their focus areas. Project Engineering Interns typically work on managing construction or industrial projects, coordinating between teams, and supporting project execution. Mechanical Engineering Interns focus more on design, analysis, and testing of mechanical systems. Both roles require engineering coursework and offer valuable industry experience, but their work environments and specific responsibilities differ based on industry needs.

How much do project engineering interns make?

Project engineering interns typically earn between $15 and $25 per hour, depending on the industry, location, and level of education. Interns often work part-time during the school year or full-time in the summer, gaining experience with engineering tools and project management software.

What does a project engineering intern do?

A project engineering intern supports engineering teams by assisting with project planning, documentation, and coordination of tasks. They often use tools like AutoCAD or MS Project and may observe or participate in site visits, gaining practical experience in project execution and technical problem-solving.

The Estimating Intern supports the estimating team by assisting with quantity take-offs, subcontractor coordination, product research, and document management. This role offers hands-on experience in cost comparisons, record maintenance, and aligning estimating activities with project goals within a dynamic construction environment.
Responsibilities / Essential Functions
  • Assist with quantity take-offs, unit pricing, and cost comparisons; compile detailed estimates for materials, labor, and project systems, documenting assumptions and qualifications.
  • Manage subcontractor lists and contacts, conduct research on products and suppliers, and maintain accurate estimating databases and records.
  • Conduct site visits to collect project-specific data-such as access, topography, and utilities-and analyze historical cost data to support bids.
  • Prepare and reconcile cost estimates against previous projects and assist in monitoring actual vs. estimated expenditures to assess cost effectiveness.
  • Facilitate collaboration by coordinating with engineers, architects, subcontractors, and internal teams throughout the estimating process.
  • Support bid development by preparing expenditure statements, maintaining tender documentation, and participate in estimate review and value-engineering sessions.
  • Utilize cost-monitoring systems to identify potential risks or variances, contributing to negotiations and decision-making.
  • Maintain precise and timely updates in estimating databases and project files to ensure smooth estimating workflows and compliance with company procedures.

Key Skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to clearly convey information to subcontractors, internal teams, and stakeholders.
  • Excellent attention to detail to ensure accuracy in cost calculations, takeoffs, and documentation.
  • Effective organizational skills to manage project files and maintain clear records across multiple active estimates.
  • Time management skills to meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced preconstruction environment.
  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities with a focus on data accuracy and clarity.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively within a team-oriented environment.
  • Demonstrated interest in the construction industry, especially in estimating or project planning roles.
  • Adaptability and curiosity to learn new systems, methods, and technologies relevant to estimating.

Required Experience
  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field (strong preference for construction-focused programs).
  • Foundational understanding of construction processes, materials, systems, and terminology.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel for cost tracking and analysis.
  • Familiarity with estimating tools or software (e.g., Bluebeam, On-Screen Takeoff, or similar platforms) is a plus.
  • Capable of conducting vendor, material, and cost research to support pricing accuracy.
  • Experience organizing or contributing to bid documentation, cost databases, and takeoff files (preferred).
  • Basic knowledge of unit pricing, quantity takeoffs, and cost estimating principles.
