What are you doing this summer? This summer, I was a Project Engineer Intern at GenCap Construction Corp, located in Kirkland, WA. I was placed onto a mixed use (residential and commercial) jobsite in Woodinville, WA. My main area of focus was quality control, which included using Excel, Procore, 3D imaging, and Bluebeam to track the quality/progression of unit interiors.
 
What has been the most memorable part of your experience? The most memorable part of my experience was getting to spend time on the jobsite everyday (this includes putting on a hardhat and vest!). This was my first experience getting to spend time in the field, which was an awesome way to get hands-on experience.
One thing you have learned during this summer experience?  Over the course of the summer, I observed and eventually learned the importance of communication and how the flow of information works within the construction management industry.
