Internships

"I joined Burke before graduating from UNLV, and that opportunity shaped the course of my career. The hands-on experience, mentorship, and trust I was given early on allowed me to grow, take on meaningful responsibility, and ultimately step into leadership. That is why our internship program is so important to me, it is intentionally designed to give students real-world experience, real ownership, and a clear path for growth. I am proud to work for a company that invests in emerging talent the same way it once invested in me."

"Having the opportunity to be an intern at Burke was an honor. I am so glad to be a part of the team today! I have never been with a company so willing to help an intern learn more than Burke did. The knowledge and experience I gained was immeasurable. I loved my internship! Getting to know all the amazing people at burke and personally being able to work with so many people and get all their inputs on how they view Burke. I have never felt such a family-centered feeling as much as Burke has provided. I know that all my coworkers would help me with anything, no questions asked. That is extremely hard to find in a company. The way Burke supported me and cared about me as an employee but also as a person. Burke gave me purpose and made me want to become better in all aspects of life. I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to be an intern for Burke. Now as an employee I cannot imagine what the future holds for me, but I am excited to be with Burke!"

"My experience was mostly service jobs, so I came into this internship with no background in marketing or corporate work. I was honestly nervous because it felt completely outside my comfort zone, but from day one, I was welcomed by such a supportive team. They trusted me with tasks I didn’t think I could handle, and with their patience, guidance, and encouragement, I proved to myself that I was capable of more than I realized. I never once felt like a burden or like I wasn’t smart enough. They made everything I worked on feel meaningful, and I truly appreciate everything they’ve done for me so far."

"Prior to my internship with Burke, I was on the fence about construction. Due to the company’s nonstop support, real-life exposure, and close mentorship, my motivation and desire to work in this field has grown exponentially. Burke has provided me with plenty of opportunities and an environment to grow in. This has led to my decision to accept a full-time position."

"I was very nervous going into this internship, but I had a great first experience. From the very beginning, I was supported throughout the entire process and never felt left on my own. My team was always willing to help, answer my questions, and guide me whenever I needed it. Everyone was welcoming and kind, which made this internship both a valuable learning experience and an enjoyable one overall. I was happy to stay longer as an intern, as I was offered an extension."

"My internship with Burke has been one of the most impactful experiences of my career. Through hands-on mentorship, real project responsibility, structured training, and even team bonding during Burke night outs, I was able to grow faster than I ever expected and gain confidence in my abilities. That growth led to a full-time offer with Burke, transitioning into a salaried Project Engineer role and earning a merit-based scholarship along the way. Burke truly prioritizes developing its interns, giving students real exposure, trust, and responsibility that prepares them to become confident, career-ready professionals early in their careers. I’m incredibly grateful I took the leap into Burke’s internship program—it truly set my career on the right path and made a lasting impact on my life."

"My internship at Burke Construction was a pivotal step in my professional development. It provided hands-on experience with real-world construction operations and strengthened my understanding of teamwork, communication, and problem-solving on a jobsite. The guidance and mentorship I received helped build my confidence and technical foundation. Those lessons continue to influence how I approach my role and responsibilities today."

"The accounting internship at Burke helped me be more confident and understanding of the office corporate world. Although there are many things to learn still after graduating, Burke accounting internship did a great job of introducing what the future for accountants can be in corporate accounting. Depending on the time of an internship or what you learn, the 6 months I did is enough to learn, but not enough to learn more in-depth as I know now."
