Intern Advantage Program - Southern Region

This posting is for 2027 Summer Internship applications only, supporting projects located in the Southern area.

McCarthy's Project Engineer Internship is a competitive, hands-on opportunity to learn what a career in construction is all about! Interns are assigned to an active project within their geographic region and report to the Project Manager or Assistant Project Manager on-site. During the internship, tasks are assigned to help the intern gain exposure to the building process and apply their engineering and leadership skills to real world situations.
