What Our Interns are Saying

  • I learned much more during this internship than ones in the past because my project team was always very friendly, respectable and also helpful when I need information, and my Superintendent gave me a job/priority and a chance to prove that I could get the task at hand done. Everyone respects one another and it feels good to know you aren’t going to just be pushing a broom all summer because you are an intern. There is trust between each one of us.

    —Walker – Building Science student at Auburn University

  • I formed great relationships with the project team I was assigned to and got a lot of real work experience. I was helped anywhere I needed it and was given what I feel is an appropriate amount of responsibility. If a small, family-feeling company is what you’re looking for, Capstone has amazing opportunities!

    —Sofia – Operations Management student at University of Alabama

  • During my internship, I learned a lot about the final stage of the construction process such as working off punch and how to coordinate subs, in the correct order and in a timely fashion, to meet schedule deadlines.

    —Cooper – Building Science student at Auburn University

  • The internship is a very hands-on, realistic experience into a full-time job as a Field Engineer or Superintendent at Capstone. It’s immersive and the people I work with are very happy to help and further explain any points of confusion to me. I mostly learned that managing people and making them want to work hard for a common goal is invaluable. That’s the kind of hand-on experience you can’t get in a classroom.

    —Madelyn – Operations Management student at University of Alabama

  • This internship is a great way to get hands-on learning and to apply what you have learned in classes. The strong points I gained would be the relationships I’ve built and working alongside people that want to help you learn and grow.
