Say Hello to Our 2023 Interns!

Summer in Arizona is officially here, which means it’s time for 16 excited and talented students to join our team for the next few months. We’re thrilled to introduce you to our 2023 Summer Interns!

Our Internship Program is more than a summer job. It’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn from great people, prepare for a rewarding career, and gain real-life experiences in construction management. By combining Superintendent, Preconstruction, and Project Manager experiences, we provide a comprehensive and unique look into various jobs and careers the construction industry has to offer.

Over the next few months, our interns will gain hands-on experience working with our teammates in a dynamic and culturally-driven team environment. They’ll have the opportunity to work face-to-face with our clients, architects, trade partners, assist with construction documentation, job walks and site visits.

CHASSE is proud to welcome our 2023 Summer Interns! Learn more about our interns, how they’re building to make a difference with us, and why they chose CHASSE.
