JP Cullen is a fifth-generation, family-owned, full-service construction management firm that specializes
in budgeting, planning and constructing the tough jobs. Our clients recognize JP Cullen as experts at
working within active construction sites where safety is of the utmost importance, discovering solutions
for something that was said could not be done, and delivering projects on time, on budget, the right
way, the first time. By tackling the toughest projects JP Cullen has created an expertise that is unrivaled.
While many things have changed over the course of 130+ years, the JP Cullen values, which guide our
decision making and create a sense of community, have not. We believe that our team and values are
the greatest assets to our company culture. Our company is powered by individuals whose personal
values drive to make a difference. The company has offices in Janesville, Milwaukee and Madison areas.

JP Cullen has a reputation of offering a strong intern and co-op experience. We believe our interns and
co-ops should be offered an experience as true to real life as we can make it. We know that if we offer
students a challenging experience with a sense of accomplishment, our return will be a good pool of tested
employees we can look at when we need to hire for permanent positions.

Responsibilities for any intern and co-op position will depend on the actual assignment, but will include:

• Field Assignments and Assistant Project Management Assignments: If your assignment is with a
  Project Manager or on a jobsite with a Superintendent, we will give you as much responsibility as you
  can show us you will handle. Work in this position varies depending on the specific needs of
  whomever you are working for but will expose you to almost all aspects of work in the field. Specific
  work assignments may include:
• Shop Drawings – You may be assigned to expedite, review, and coordinate shop drawings and
  submittals for projects under construction.
• Drawing Updates - You will incorporate revisions to contract documents as necessary to keep
  jobsite or office copies “up to date”. This will involve “posting” of construction change bulletins
  on blueprints and in specifications.
• Change Orders – You may assist in organizing and estimating change order work for projects under
  construction. This will include contacting subcontractors to get their pricing, estimating quantities
  for Cullen’s work, comparing changed work to original takeoff, and helping the Project Manager
  put together a complete cost proposal.
• RFIs (Requests for Information) – You may be asked to evaluate problems in the field, or
  discrepancies and problems with the drawings. You would determine the cause of the problem,
  document it, produce sketches for clarification, and submit RFI’s to the designer. Then you would
  follow through to make sure the issue is resolved, and the answer gets to the field to not delay
  construction.
• Scheduling – Using Primavera’s P6 scheduling program (or similar), you may be assigned to
  update, print, and distribute schedules for project. This would involve direct conversation with
  the responsible superintendent and with subcontractors for data input.
• Drawings - You will produce miscellaneous sketches and drawings as requested by the Project
  Manager or Superintendent. These may include formwork, embed locations, miscellaneous metal
  items, site layouts, etc. Drawings are usually done for the field and are intended to translate
  difficult drawing information into something the field can use to build. May be done with paper
  and pencil or with a CAD program.
• Project Closeout - You will prepare project closeout documents, which will include updating “asbuilt” information on the contract drawings and organization of record documents and
  warranties. You will expedite warranty and O&M manual submissions from subcontractors.
  h) Coordination Meetings – The Superintendent may want you to prepare an agenda for and
  participate in weekly jobsite meetings where schedule is discussed in detail and subcontractors
  coordinate their work. You would produce minutes from those meetings and follow up that
  subcontractors meet their commitments
• Monitoring Subcontractors - You may work with subcontractors to monitor their work, ensure
  they will make their schedules, monitor their manpower, and monitor/inspect the quality of their
  work and compliance with specifications and drawings.
• Deliveries – You may be procuring materials for the project. With direction from the Project
  Manager or Superintendent, you would set up a log, prepare a delivery schedule, find problems,
  visit suppliers, track shipments, check materials, and make sure they are labeled and stored
  properly.
• Backcharge Tickets and Extra Work Tickets – You may prepare summaries of labor and material
  costs for backcharge or extra work, provide appropriate explanations and get agreements and
  signatures from subcontractors and owners.

• Currently pursuing a degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Architectural Engineering, or related field
• Strong communication and teamwork abilities
• Attention to detail
• Willingness to learn

This is a paid internship. Interns will receive hourly compensation, PPE, and professional development opportunities.
