Break ground on your career with Cullen

Spend three to seven months learning a site engineer, preconstruction engineer, or support services role. Our interns are trained by industry experts to fulfill an authentic work experience.

Make the most of your summer by visiting all of our offices, touring various jobsites, and learning about our teams while also building connections with your fellow interns through fun events.

You will have the opportunity to learn from someone outside of your direct team by partnering with one of our Young Leader members throughout the summer.

Employee Check-In

Then & Now

Meet Shannon

Shannon Metoxen, Vice President of our Milwaukee Division, has been with JP Cullen since 1999 starting as an intern:

“The photo to the right includes our Owners, all our Project Managers, Estimators, and our Young Leaders for the entire company. Now our Young Leader Group alone has more people in it.  Amazing, the growth we have had over the last 25 years. My advice to young people is to find a Mentor and ask a lot of questions, not only on the “office” side but the field side.  Ask how and why, and you will be a better builder for it.”

As an intern, I quickly came to appreciate the professionalism, community involvement, and quality workmanship at the core of all of JP Cullen’s projects.  As a Site Engineer, I am proud to be a part of the JP Cullen team.  Each day brings new challenges and opportunities for growth.

Site Engineer

During my three summers as an intern with JP Cullen, I had the opportunity to work on some unique jobs. Regardless of the division or project, JP Cullen’s commitment to the field and the development of its employees remained strong and consistent. I loved that even the interns had responsibility on the jobsite and the opportunity to see the work being put in place.

I started my career 25 years ago with JP Cullen and now I am the General Superintendent for the Industrial Division. I’ve had some remarkable mentors and have forged some great new friendships with my colleagues.
