Construction Estimating Internship - Fall

Step into the heart of construction where precision meets possibility. At NEI, we don’t just crunch numbers—we build the foundation for bridges, dams, and highway networks that shape the future of our communities. If you’re driven by excellence, problem-solving, and a passion for detail, this is your chance to gain hands-on experience and make a real impact in the heavy civil construction industry. And yes, our office dogs are ready to welcome you into the pack!

As a Construction Estimating Intern, you’ll collaborate with a dynamic team, including Executives and Estimators, to contribute to competitive bidding processes and pre-award cost evaluations. You’ll assist in preparing accurate estimates and participate in estimating-to-project management hand-off meetings, ensuring seamless project transitions. This isn’t just an internship, it’s your opportunity to turn your education into experience and gain invaluable insights into the foundation of successful construction projects.

Your Role in the Action:

• Master the details. Review bid-time project documents, analyze drawings and specifications, and perform quantity takeoffs for materials, labor, and equipment.
• Collaborate with the best. Work with vendors and subcontractors to solicit quotes, evaluate pricing, and assist in developing competitive bid packages.
• Keep things on track. Maintain bid schedules, participate in department meetings, and contribute to post-bid reviews and project hand-offs.
• Hit the field. Attend pre-bid meetings and site visits to assess project complexities and contribute to effective bid strategies.

What You Bring to the Table:

• A passion for precision. You’re goal-oriented, detail-driven, and thrive on delivering high-quality work.
• A foundation of knowledge. Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field.
• Tech-savvy. Familiarity with tools like Microsoft Suite, Bluebeam, Adobe Acrobat, and AutoCAD is a plus.
• Reliable and adaptable. You’re ready to work both in the office and in the field, with reliable transportation to get you there.
• An eagerness to grow. You’re excited to tackle challenges, learn from experts, and contribute to meaningful projects.

We don’t do mediocre here. At NEI, you’ll join a team that values growth, collaboration, and high performance. You’ll gain hands-on experience, work with supportive mentors, and leave with a clear vision of your future in construction.

Your future, our projects—let’s build something extraordinary together. Apply now, and let’s make it happen!
