Moss & Associates Hires 50 Summer Interns

July 20, 2016 / Press Release

Moss & Associates has hired 50 summer interns in Florida, with 40 of those interns working at Moss’ headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, and an additional 15 interns at other offices nationwide.

Out of more than 200 applicants, highly skilled staff members selected the interns through a series of meetings and interviews held throughout the year. All interns receive compensation and select interns, known as co-ops, receive course credit in addition to compensation. Interns who return for a second term receive wage increases.

“It is my third year interning at Moss, and each year is more exciting than the last,” said Ashley Gerasimchik, intern at Moss. “The team is extremely helpful and has done a great job of preparing me for my future in construction.”

The interns’ duties are based on their career paths. Those interested in project management, for example, gain experience in coordinating the various processes involved with building commercial construction projects, including participating in pre-construction activities, coordinating project start-up and managing orders. Each intern works approximately 40 hours per week.

“Although the construction industry is predominantly male, nearly 25 percent of our interns are female,” said Sherry Werner, Project Executive at Moss. “We are committed to diversifying the industry and have recently launched the Moss Women’s Initiative (MWI) in an effort to achieve that goal and make Moss one of the best places for women to work and achieve their career goals.”
