Rosendin

“I’m a people person. I love to talk to people and make sure people are safe, just because that’s how I’ve only been. It’s not just because I work here, it’s my nature. As days go by, I can tell that people are getting more familiar with me and more personable with me. They call me instead of somebody else and it makes me feel good because they think I’m dependable enough to be able to call. I like that [Rosendin] focuses on safety, it’s the number one thing, you have to be safe.”

“My experience with Rosendin this summer has given me more than I could have ever imagined. Going into this internship I had no experience in the construction industry, but Rosendin’s collaborative, family environment has allowed me to learn a lot in a short amount of time. I’ve gotten the chance to spend each week with a new department in the office, which is really helping me meet everyone and learn how everything works. Everyone has been eager to include and assist me, truly living Rosendin’s mission of building people. Choosing Rosendin and joining such a strong team environment has made all the difference in my growth and learning this summer.”

“I started as summer help with the Union. They had me moving pipe, inventorying things, all the grunt work that they had out there. The transition from working in the field to an intern in the office was happening while I was in the field. My plan from the beginning was to use that experience and knowledge and take that next step into actually interning and then make it my full-time job. When I knew I wanted to work full-time with Rosendin was a couple of weeks into the internship. I really liked how the company was run and I was getting a lot of guidance from people that I worked with. As an intern, the first task I had was a feeder log. It was pretty intensive and it felt like I was actually contributing to something that they used going forward in the project. The fact that they, while checking me, allowed me to do something important and integral to what we were doing out there sparked my interest.”

“I have had the privilege of gaining exposure to two sides of Rosendin’s Engineering Department. On the Renewable’s side, I have created photovoltaic feeder schedules for $100 million solar panel builds and ensured that string sizing for these builds were both economically feasible and electrically viable. On the Commercial side, I worked on the circuiting and placing of mechanical and lighting fixtures of both regular and emergency power for high rise, hospital, and airport projects. The engineers I have been mentored by are incredibly talented and have answered all of my questions with enthusiasm and knowledgeable insight. On a job site visit, I went into the heart of the electrical rooms, and analyzed first-hand panels, circuit breaker systems, and transformers, one of which I’m pictured with here!”

“Rosendin’s internship program has been a great experience. I have learned a lot about project management and the construction industry thanks to the Rosendin employees who were willing to answer my questions and teach me. I hope to return to Rosendin next summer for my second internship.”
