Acquire real world, on-the-job experience from one of the leading federal construction firms in the world.
On-the-Job Training for a Career in Construction
Take your academics beyond the books and gain real world, on-the-job experience with Conti Federal.

Whether you're looking to pursue a career in construction management, engineering, accounting, or anything in between, we're always looking for motivated students to join our team for a summer or semester.
To qualify, students must be actively enrolled in an accredited college or university with at least one full year of academic study completed. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required.
The Perks of Interning with Us
Contributing Team Member
There's no such thing as "just an intern." Conti Federal interns are active team members that provide value to a project each day. You'll have direct access to all levels of the organization, including our executive team, for guidance and mentorship.
Competitive Pay
Every internship is a paid position, offering highly competitive rates. We also pay for lodging if you're working away from home, including coordinating your travel and lodging arrangements - one less thing for you to worry about.
International Internships
Some internships are available abroad to help support our projects overseas. In fact, those that return for a second internship with us will be given priority for these assignments.
Full-Time Employment
Many of our interns have been offered part-time employment during the school year and full-time employment post-graduation. Not only will you gain experience, but you may gain a career!
"I spent my internship working on our project at the Naval Support Activity in Naples, Italy. Having the opportunity to be on the job site provided me with immeasurable hands-on experience that also helped me to develop my creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Working in another country allowed me to find different ways to communicate even with a language barrier. In the end, we all speak the same language by working towards the same goal: Done Once, Done Right!"
Alexandra Zecca, Project Administrator Intern
"I didn’t really know what to expect with my internship with Conti Federal, but I was so happy to have the chance to dive right in and make an impact. A day never went by where I was bored or had nothing to do. The internship was so successful, Conti Federal offered me a part-time position during my final semester of school and I’ll be starting with them full-time upon graduation."
Jack A., IT Intern
"My internship with Conti Federal allowed me to branch out of my comfort zone. I traveled to places I had never been and had the opportunity to work on an active military base. I couldn’t even list everything that I learned during my summer because it was more than I could have imagined… and more than I could have ever learned from a book."
Tegun Thomson, Operations Intern
