Meet our Spring 2021 Interns

The Evergreen Internship and Co-Op program is designed to bring college students into our company and fully engage them in the world of construction management. We place our interns and co-ops directly into established project teams – whether that be in the field, in project management, or in our pre-construction department. Through each and every avenue, we give responsibilities and opportunities provide real-world experience, embedding them in our industry.

Typically, our projects range from K-12 educational buildings to hotels and even corporate offices. Each of these opportunities leads to a variety of construction experiences for our interns. In addition to construction management experience, interns have the opportunity to explore the great city of Atlanta and all it has to offer.

Whether you are curious about our internship program as a peer or are considering joining us for a semester-long internship or co-op, this blog post gives you a glimpse into our program as well as those who are presently interning with us. If you are a college student, visit us at your college or university’s career fair for information on how to apply. You may also contact Matt Taylor at [email protected].
