If you can picture yourself working with a team that enjoys tackling challenges while encouraging each other to succeed, then you belong at PCL.

 

We are accepting applications for our 2025 Summer Internship Program in our California Buildings district located in Southern California.

You will be assigned to a project and project team that matches your knowledge and experience and you will be involved in several aspects of the project. We will designate a mentor for you who will be available to you for the duration of internship. You will also have the opportunity to participate in company events and community volunteer opportunities.
