Every summer, we host a number of college interns from local, state and out-of-state colleges who fill roles in field management as well as corporate services. Over the course of the summer, our interns gain valuable experience in the methods and practices of the construction industry as well as build long-lasting professional relationships. It is our sincere hope that whether their future lies with us or somewhere else, their internship will produce knowledge and insight that will go with them into their professional future.
Internship Benefits
One of the hallmarks of the H&W summer intern program is our commitment to making our interns feel welcome and at home. Whether you are visiting from out-of-state or live nearby, we strive to make your time with us as comfortable as possible. Our internships include compensation based on competitive market value, offer a guaranteed 40-hours of work per week and are overtime eligible. During the interview process, we will evaluate any need for living arrangement assistance and may provide fully furnished apartments for interns that are traveling to us from out of state.

- How did you become interested in a career in construction?
- Most of my family has been in construction in one way or another, whether it was roofing, building houses, or remodeling work (mostly residential). I decided to go to college, but didn’t think you could go to college for construction. I started out mechanical engineering at OU, and I found out I did not really have the aptitude for that after my first year. A family friend suggested I check out the CNS program at OU, knowing I was raised around the industry and helped family with small projects growing up. I changed my major and landed an internship right after.
- How do you think an internship helped you make a decision about your future?
- During my first internship, I got to see two different projects. One had just broken ground (new build – UTD Dorms), and I got to see a lot of utility and dirt work. The second project was a full remodel - The Statler with Billy, Ty, and Tyler Dodd. Getting to see those two projects with the comradery amongst the teams, problem solving, and getting to be involved in something bigger than myself was the fulfillment in a career that I was looking for. Being able to say, “I built that!” always resonated with me, and that’s what I love most about my job.
