Building a diverse and inclusive workforce means more than simply recruiting top talent -- it means mentoring a new generation of builders while fostering a culture of innovation and creative thinking. We believe in growing as a team and providing opportunities to set the foundation for a career in construction. Geared toward construction and engineering students, JE Dunn’s National Diversity Scholarship supports our 3-pillar strategy for diversity and inclusion: workforce, workplace, and marketplace.

From on-the-job training to essential experiences and a final project, one of the most important takeaways of an internship at JE Dunn is the opportunity to gain a real-world experience and chance to put your education into practice. From day one, you’ll be paired with a mentor, work directly on a team, and build buildings and relationships that will positively impact your career. Not only will you learn on the field, but you’ll gain insight to multiple areas of our business that will, in turn, help you gain a better understanding of the construction industry as a whole.
At JE Dunn, we are higher performers and proven builders. This is demonstrated by our commitment to development and growing the skills of our future leaders – and that means our interns, too. More than 50% of our new graduate hires are former interns. As an intern, you’ll learn industry and professional skills, personal development and strengths, the chance to be part of a high impact team, and more.
As the saying goes at JE Dunn, the only thing we build better than buildings is relationships. Whether you’re on or off the field, you’ll take away an invaluable work experience, long standing friendships and an unforgettable work culture. From serving others in our communities to producing high-quality work each day, we take pride providing a fun and safe work environment for our people.
