WHAT OUR INTERNS DO

Fieldwork: The best way to experience the work we do is to see it in the field. Our interns visit project sites before, during, and after construction. Fieldwork includes photo documentation, measurements, traffic counts, field meetings, and environmental evaluations.
 

Design: You will have the opportunity to assist with various designs and calculations. These may include geometry, grading, hydrology, quantity calculations, and cost estimation.
 

Drafting: The biggest tool we use for design is CADD, specifically Bentley MicroStation. By the end of your internship, you will be proficient in drafting and plan preparation, or a variety of environmental tasks. You will also learn how to operate our scanners, plotters, and copiers used to produce our client deliverables.
 

Research: Knowing where to find the right information is important. You will become familiar with the industry standards and reference manuals that govern our designs.

Writing: An important aspect of our work is being able to document our design process and convey it to the client and public. You will be exposed to technical report writing and the preparation of project delivery documentation reports.

Intern Appreciation Day: At our annual Intern Appreciation Day, we do more than appreciate the hard work our interns have put in. They spend a day in our Philadelphia headquarters, meeting with company leadership and other interns participating in the program companywide. Interns are able to network with peers, participate in a Q&A session with former interns, and receive resume writing and interviewing tips in a professional development workshop.

Compensation: Our interns are generously compensated for the time they spend here. 

Hourly rates are dictated by class standing and any prior relative experience.

Orientation: Our Talent Acquisition team will reach out to all interns at the beginning of the program and provide them with the information and tools needed to guarantee a successful tenure with McCormick Taylor.

Intern Satisfaction Survey: All interns speak with a Talent Acquisition representative before their internship ends in order to share what they enjoyed most about their time with McCormick Taylor, as well as indicate ways the program can be improved. We promote open dialogue between our interns and Talent Acquisition team to make sure that the program improves every year and that you found value in your internship with McCormick Taylor.
