2017 College & Graduate Summer Internship Program

2017 College and Graduate Summer Internship Program  

The Department of Design and Construction (DDC) gives shape to the Mayor’s vision of New York City – growing, equitable, sustainable, resilient, and healthy.  In doing so, we are driven by a keen sense of urgency and responsiveness, as well as a commitment to client service, collaboration, and mentorship. 

The Mayor counts on us to shape a safe, just, and culturally diverse metropolis.  Working side-by-side with some of the best architects, engineers and construction professionals in the world, we bring Design and Construction Excellence to the City’s public buildings and infrastructure.  Along with these consultants, we are privileged to collaborate with twenty-four city agencies who attend to the needs of New Yorkers throughout the five boroughs.   

DDC’s Summer Internship Program is an opportunity for a select group of students to gain valuable experience in the architecture, engineering, design, and construction management professions within a public service context. Students will gain hands-on technical experience through specific field assignments and a mentoring relationship with senior-level technical staff. They will also have the opportunity, through a combination of seminars, site visits, and training opportunities, to learn about the challenges of upgrading and constructing the City’s public buildings and infrastructure. 

• Each intern is assigned to a mentor within the respective division, and will be assigned to a project for the term of the program, or may rotate through different types of projects, depending upon the availability of projects.

• There will be meetings/seminars with DDC senior staff and DDC summer high school interns.

• Interns participate in Community Day, a day of service working on various projects within the City of New York.

• Field trips to significant projects, such as: Times Square Plaza, “The Crossroads of the World”; Bronx River House in Starlight Park; Rehab of Interceptor Sewers; and Willowbrook Park Flood Control (BMP).
