Welcoming interns is only the start. We’re here to empower them with real experiences and meaningful mentorship.

Our summer internship program is more than a seasonal initiative. It’s a 12-week commitment to career growth, hands-on learning, and the future of our industry. With internships spanning HR, IT, project management, and the trades, we design every opportunity to help college juniors and seniors build skills, confidence, and lasting connections.

From day one, interns become part of the team. They jump into real roles, take on real challenges, and bring fresh ideas to the table. Whether they’re supporting project managers in the field, working with IT on tech solutions, or learning alongside skilled trades professionals, they’re not watching from the sidelines; they’re making a difference.

“This internship has given me hands-on experience I couldn’t get in a classroom. I’ve been able to contribute to real projects, learn from industry professionals, and gain confidence in my career path. It’s been an incredible opportunity to grow both personally and professionally.”

– Michael M., Mechanical and Electrical Contractor Management and Sales Intern

Meaningful Mentorship

Every intern is paired with a mentor, someone who’s been in their shoes and is ready to help them grow. Through one-on-one guidance, check-ins, and team-building events, our interns gain technical knowledge and insight into how to build a career with purpose.

And it’s not only the interns who benefit. These relationships also strengthen our company. Mentors are reminded to lead with intention, communicate with clarity, and pass on the values that define our culture.

From Internship to Career: Why Interns Stay

For many interns, this program is only the beginning. We’re honored so many choose to come back, and even more honored when they launch their careers with us.

Why do they stay?

• They feel seen. Interns aren’t tucked away in a back office. They’re trusted with meaningful work, invited into conversations, and recognized for their ideas and contributions.
• They feel supported. Mentorship here isn’t a checkbox. It’s a relationship. Interns get thoughtful feedback, real encouragement, and a clearer view of what’s possible.
• They feel like they belong. Whether it’s bonding on the job site or chatting in the hallway, our interns become part of the Lee Company family.
• They see a future. Interns explore a wide range of career paths, from technology to the trades, and see how far they can go with the right support.
• They believe in the mission. Our commitment to service, safety, and innovation resonates with young professionals who want their work to matter.

“My internship here was the foundation of my career. I was doing more than observing … I was contributing, learning, and building relationships that ultimately led to a full-time role. Looking back, it was the best introduction I could’ve had to this industry and this team.”

– Grady G., Assistant Project Manager

For us, it’s not about summer help. It’s about investing in future leaders. And when we invest in the right people early on, they often choose to grow with us.

Celebrating a Strong Finish

As summer wraps up, we host an end-of-internship celebration to honor the work, growth, and relationships built along the way. From mentor shout-outs to meaningful reflections, it’s a chance to say thank you and see how far our interns have come.

Our summer internship program reflects who we are and what we value. When we give students real opportunities, trusted mentors, and a place where they belong, we’re building their future … and ours.
