Owner's Project Coordinator (Internship) - West Lafayette, IN

Job Description

Job Description

Are you looking for a construction project management internship that offers real-world, job site experience ? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments, love problem-solving, and get energized by seeing your work take shape?

We’re seeking a get-it-done, organized, and proactive individual to join the LV Construction and Development team to support on-the-ground project management efforts for our latest student housing development called "Rambler Riverfront" next to the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette, IN.

This is not your run-of-the-mill coffee-fetching internship. You’ll work directly with the Construction Manager and Director of Construction on day-to-day project execution — including field quality verification, RFI/Submittal management, and schedule reporting from Design through Construction Completion .

If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, learn from the best, and contribute to meaningful projects, this internship will give you real exposure to the full construction process.
