Construction Internships
Start Building Your Career Before Graduation.
Your career shouldn't begin after graduation—it should begin now. At KE&G, interns gain real-world experience working alongside industry professionals on projects that improve communities across the Southwest. You'll contribute to meaningful work, build valuable skills, and discover what a career in heavy civil construction can become.
Construction Internships
Learn by Doing
At KE&G, internships are more than job shadowing. From your first day, you'll become part of the team, contributing to real projects while learning from experienced professionals who are invested in your success.
Whether your passion is construction management, engineering, business, safety, or communications, you'll gain practical experience that prepares you for a successful career after graduation.

Why You'll Love Working Here
Own the Work. Own the Future.
At KE&G, you're more than an employee—you're an employee owner. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), every eligible employee has the opportunity to share in the company's long-term success. It's a culture built on accountability, pride, and the belief that when people have a stake in what they build, they build it better.
Grow Your Career with Confidence.
Whether you're just beginning your career or preparing for your next leadership role, KE&G provides opportunities to learn and grow through BuildWitt online learning, classroom instruction, employee development plans, mentorship, and technical skills training. We're committed to helping our people build lasting careers—not just jobs.
Supporting You On and Off the Job.
We offer a competitive benefits package designed to protect your health, your family, and your future. Employee owners have access to medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, health savings accounts, retirement planning resources, and employee assistance programs that support every stage of life.
Building Financial Security Together.
Beyond competitive compensation, KE&G invests in your financial future through employee ownership, 401(k) retirement savings, Health Savings Account contributions, and access to professional financial planning resources. Our goal is to help employee owners build long-term financial confidence alongside rewarding careers.
Everyone Goes Home Safe.
Safety is more than a policy—it's part of who we are. From industry-leading training and a strong safety culture to Boot Bucks, safety gear reimbursement, and employee wellness resources, we're committed to giving every employee owner the tools and support they need to work safely every day.
A Team That Invests in Each Other.
At KE&G, we celebrate successes together, support one another, and build lasting relationships both on and off the job. From family events and community service to employee recognition and ownership celebrations, our culture is built around people who genuinely care about one another.
Built Around the People Who Build
At KE&G, culture starts in the field. Through leadership jobsite visits, hands-on training, safety recognition, team lunches, and our annual Shareholders Meeting, we invest in our people every step of the way. We believe our employee owners deserve more than a paycheck—they deserve a company that supports their growth, recognizes their contributions, and celebrates their success.
