This is a hybrid corporate and field position, combining strategic construction management work in our corporate office environment with hands-on exposure to large-scale industrial building projects at fulfillment centers, construction sites, and job trailer environments.
Amazon’s Global Engineering Services (GES) NA Design & Construction team is looking for innovative and solutions-oriented interns to support our construction management function. Construction Manager interns will support Construction programs to deliver the built facilities and infrastructure that power Amazon’s logistics network — including fulfillment centers, sortation centers, delivery stations, and auxiliary buildings — through new builds, retrofits, initiatives, and expansions.
In this role, interns work under the guidance and direction of senior Construction Managers, owning specific workstreams and deliverables within larger projects. You will coordinate with general contractors, subcontractors, and internal teams to ensure project documentation is current, schedules are tracked, budgets are monitored, and stakeholder communications are maintained. You will serve as a key liaison between field teams and project leadership — ensuring information flows accurately and action items are resolved.
This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on exposure to large-scale industrial construction projects while developing your construction management expertise through hands-on project execution, mentorship from senior CMs, and exposure to the full construction lifecycle.
