This is the best experience anyone could ever have as a first-year intern. I have been treated with respect, which I really do appreciate. I have learned so much when it comes to communication with general contractors we work with, the crews, and the team in the Wisconsin office. Additionally, I've gained software experience and industry knowledge.
