Internships
COLLEGE INTERNSHIPS
At PRIME, our internship program offers an immersive experience that goes beyond the classroom, providing exposure to key elements of successful project execution. Our 10-12 week summer internship program offers interns a hands-on learning experience across job sites, where they work closely with various trades and gain an understanding of industry processes. Interns will have the opportunity to join our teams in San Jose, CA or Bellevue, WA, and will develop practical skills in project management, estimating, logistics, virtual construction services, and safety. This experience not only bridges the gap between education and the workforce but also opens doors to potential future employment with PRIME upon graduation.
Sponsored housing is available for interns relocating from outside the commutable regions, ensuring they can fully immerse themselves in the PRIME internship experience.
INTERNSHIP Challenge
The Internship Challenge is a competitive opportunity designed for college freshman and sophomores interested in exploring careers in electrical construction. Participants will work in teams to build estimates, develop proposals, and present their ideas to company leaders—gaining exposure to real-world project scenarios and industry practices.
Finalists will be considered for a paid summer internship at Prime Electric, which includes cash prizes.
This challenge is more than a competition. It’s a chance to demonstrate your potential, connect with professionals, and take the first step toward a future in construction. Apply now!
