Internship Duration: 9/1/16 – 12/2/16

Total Hours Worked: 204

 

For my internship during the Fall of 2016 I had the opportunity to work as a Project Engineer Intern for Hogan Construction Group in Greer, South Carolina. During this part time internship I was assigned to three different projects all at the Greer BMW Manufacturing Plant, the SCSPA Site Operations and Training Centers and the Hall 52 Cafeteria. Site Ops and the Training Center were both new construction designed for use by BMW North America. Ops Center was a basic 4-story office building with very high end finishes whereas the training center was a basic 1-story building designed to match the operations center. Both were located adjacent to each other. Hall 52 cafeteria was a renovation of an existing dining area inside of the BMW manufacturing plant. This project was very fast paced as it was needed to feed workers at lunch break. I started out this internship assisting with all aspects of the close out process on the Site Operations Center, helping with tracking down attic stock, assisting with various different punch list items and putting together a closeout log for the building. At the same time I was assisting with the construction of the Training center by tracking multiple RFI's and submittals. Halfway through the semester I was sent inside the plant to assist with the Hall 52 Cafeteria and the superintendent assigned to that project. For the remainder of my internship I worked as a laborer assisting with core drilling, cleanup and all other aspects related to the building of this cafeteria.
