My internship with BELL gave me an opportunity to build my knowledge in every aspect connected to construction. It not only allowed me to learn about the process of construction but showed me how to connect with a team to achieve a common goal. The relationships I made with the team I worked with showed me what a true team is and how it operates.

I chose BELL because it felt like the best place to introduce me to the world of commercial construction.
Throughout my internship, BELL provided me with a chance to see all the aspects that go into building a hotel project like The Tempo by Hilton. I was able to be a part of meetings with owners, architects, and subcontractors to ensure everything was being built correctly and on schedule.
While working for BELL I was able to create relationships with not only the BELL team but every sub on the job site. The team of superintendents and project managers on the job site were extremely patient and understanding if I did not know how to do something and they walked me through the process and helped me expand my knowledge.
Even though it was just for a summer, I feel like I am better equipped to go into the construction world after my graduation.

My internship at BELL allowed me to spend time in the field with experienced superintendents and in the office with accomplished project managers. I had the opportunity to perform take-offs, track work on a project, and participate in concrete pours.
With this internship I was able to gain an understanding of what everyday life for an employee at BELL is like. This helped greatly with my decision to work at BELL full time after graduating college.

My two terms with BELL not only taught me about the construction process, it taught me how to work with other people and how a construction jobsite should work.
An internship with BELL may seem like a summer job for just for a short time, but the relationships you make with BELL’s employees and the lessons you learn from them will last a lifetime, no matter where you may ultimately end up.
