Getting Back into the Groove
Several of the 2023 Summer interns are returning after a great experience in the 2022 Summer Internship program. Michael from George Mason University is returning for the third Summer in a row, and Fatou from Penn State, Tenny from Virginia Tech, and Justin from Saint Joseph’s University are returning for the second year in a row. We also hired several interns to work full-time at CWC, including Solomon Alvarez-Gibson as a Project Engineer, Caitlin Shirvinski as a Field Engineer, Trayvon Larkins as an Occupational Health & Safety Engineer, and Sophia Ford as a Pursuit Coordinator. We are proud that these young builders chose to continue their professional careers with CWC. We’re hiring! See our open positions.
