Cache Valley Electric is a leading electrical contractor with a long-standing reputation for delivering high-quality electrical construction projects across the country. Our teams work on complex and challenging projects while maintaining a strong commitment to safety, quality, innovation, teamwork, and customer service.

At Cache Valley Electric, we believe the best way to learn construction is to be part of it. Our internship program gives students the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals, contribute to active projects, and gain practical experience that goes beyond the classroom.

Internship Overview

The Project Engineer Internship provides hands-on experience in electrical construction and project management while giving you the opportunity to apply to real-world construction projects.

You will work alongside experienced Project Managers, Project Engineers, Superintendents, and field teams while gaining exposure to the day-to-day operations of active electrical construction projects.

You will have opportunities to participate in project meetings, review drawings and specifications, assist with RFIs and submittals, track materials and equipment, and support communication between project management and field operations.

Our goal is to provide you with meaningful responsibilities and real project experience rather than simply observing from the sidelines.
