This summer I worked with PC’s water and wastewater estimating group in Florida. Together, we worked on estimating deliverables for the company’s design-build and construction management-at-risk projects in South Carolina and Florida. I learned the programs they use and their process to complete a quantity takeoff, working with subcontractors to obtain quotes and compiling them into an accessible format. I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience through my internship.

I spent this summer on the Hanahan WTP Plate Settler Basins and Solids Handling Improvements project in South Carolina. I worked directly with a senior project engineer assisting with start-up, training, commissioning and the transfer of spare parts for a new sedimentation basin. To close out my time with PC, I spent a few days with the field engineers helping lay out wall lines and trench lines. I look forward to bringing this knowledge back to school.

I was fortunate enough to return to PC for a second summer as an intern. Last summer I was a laborer intern, working in the field to increase my knowledge of day-to-day site activities and safety. This summer I progressed to the office, working on a medical center expansion. I spent my time writing RFIs, reviewing submittals, working with drawings, performing safety walks, attending owner and foreman meetings, and creating quality control procedures. This internship has absolutely secured my decision to pursue a career in construction. Having a presence in the office and field provided me with valuable experiences that would be impossible to replicate in a classroom.

During the event, Senator Sanders stated that we need to do a better job of educating students about the opportunities available to them, especially if they choose to enter the workforce directly after high school. The panelists provided an employer’s perspective regarding new hire expectations, the types of positions included in their hiring strategies, and the skills they consider important for new hires.

Senator Sanders posed many questions of the student audience and moderated the format as an open, lively discussion tackling the issues of college vs. career, financial aid, and local employment opportunities.

This initiative is critical to the student population as they make decisions about their goals after high school. With opportunities like these, students will have a better understanding of the options available to them and how they can prepare for success.
