Internships
BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION.
An internship at Hawkins is in the field, in real conditions, with real expectations.
You’ll be part of the work, expected to contribute, and held to the same standards as the rest of the team. It's where your career begins and how we help you build the foundation for what comes next.
The Hawkins Internship allowed me to learn much faster and gain more experience than any other opportunity I was presented with. The program here has no boundaries for those willing to take on challenges and grow both their careers and their knowledge.Seth Rinderknecht Project Manager

Future Opportunities
Strong interns often move into full-time roles. Your performance can open the door to long-term opportunities.
A well-structured intern program can be one of the most effective paths for long-term success in the construction industry. Guidance and mentorship were always there, but responsibility came from showing initiative, having a strong work ethic, and being willing to learn. Opportunities weren’t just handed out, you had to earn them, and that kind of culture helps people grow and stay long term.Erik BrueningProject Manager
