Internships/Co-ops: Real-World Experience, Lifelong Connections
To ensure another six decades of success, we know we need to be meeting tomorrow’s leaders today. The McGough Internship Program offers a full-spectrum picture of a career in construction that includes mentorship, meeting people, and real on-the-job experiences. Many of our interns go on to become full-time employees, too!
Meaningful Work for a Meaningful Experience
We want you to get a dynamic experience that takes what you’ve learned in school and shows you how to apply it in real life situations, benefiting from the experience of people who once were in your shoes. This isn’t a busy-work, coffee-delivering internship (although we do love coffee!) You’ll see all sides of the job, from the worksite to the office, and be asked to contribute in meaningful ways.
It’s also a chance to meet new people, form friendships, and have fun. McGough takes pride in being a work-hard, play-hard type of company, and you’ll get to participate in social gatherings, team-building, and all the things that make McGough a great place to work.
Building Experience and Relationships
Meet Andrea
There’s a lot more creativity in construction than you might expect — just ask our first-ever Communications Intern, Andrea Alkalai! Andrea stepped into an entirely new industry and quickly discovered that no two days look the same. From visiting job sites and photographing events to supporting social media, PR, and marketing, her internship has given her a front-row seat to the many stories behind the work we do.
MEET rylee
As a project management intern with McGough’s Fargo team, Rylee Bakkegard has contributed to projects that are helping shape his community while gaining practical construction experience along the way. If you’re looking for an internship where you can take on real responsibilities, explore different career paths and help build projects that matter, McGough is ready to put your potential to work.
meet kylee
At McGough, being an intern doesn’t mean sitting on the sidelines. Over the summer, Kylee Eno has gained hands-on experience and become a meaningful part of her project team. Just as important, she’s found a community where people are approachable, supportive, and willing to help her grow. You don’t have to know everything about construction before you start. Come ready to learn, get involved, and be part of the team!
meet marie
Big equipment. Complex systems. Countless moving pieces. And a team working together to make it all happen. For Industrial Engineer Intern Marie Diffley, seeing that process firsthand has been one of the most exciting parts of her summer with McGough. Marie has spent her internship moving between industrial projects, collaborating with teams inside and outside McGough, and seeing engineering plans move from paper to reality on active job sites. When you’re building a career in industrial construction, some of the best learning happens in the field.
