POWER DESIGN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Let’s be real: there are some things that can’t be taught in the classroom. Collaboration and innovation are skills best learned on the job. That’s what the Power Design internship program is all about – helping you apply what you’re learning in school to some of the most notorious new buildings in the country.

What to Expect

Beyond the Books

What’s your passion? We’re motivated by our ability to make lasting impacts on our communities and shape skylines across the nation. As a Power Design intern, you’ll play an important role in helping us achieve this mission and push the boundaries of design and innovation. Here’s the inside scoop on what you can expect.

Summer in St. Pete Our 10-week internship program runs from May through August each year, at our headquarters in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida.

You’re Covered We strive to make our internship program accessible by paying our interns, covering housing, and reimbursing your travel.

Build Cool Stuff Throughout your internship, you’ll get mentored by the best in the business as you support multi-million-dollar projects across the country.

Popular Intern Tracks

Project Management
and Engineering

As a national design-build contractor, our two most popular internship programs should come as no surprise: project management and engineering. As a Project Management Intern, you’ll act as a liaison with suppliers, facilitate material releases, and review projects specs – to name a few. On the Engineering side, we’ll introduce you to REVIT design software and the various design scopes, while you practice coding fundamentals. Got something else in mind? Our Recruiting Team can help find the right spot for you!

Award-Winning Culture

"I loved my time during my internship and I wanted to come back and join the PDI family full-time. It is a fast-growing company and I knew I would have an opportunity to grow here. My full-time experience has been great so far, and I have been learning a lot working with a new team in a new department from last summer!"

The possibility to learn is unlimited by being a part of the construction process and collaborating with so many teams, both internally and externally. Being able to see my challenges and successes in the field expands my knowledge and allows me to improve every day."
