Surveying Intern
May - August 2018 • Omaha, NE
What I liked
I loved the people I worked alongside at E & A. They really care about their employees and it really feels like you are part of a family. I felt like an integral part of the survey crew that I was on. They are definitely a company I would love to work for in the future.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have had a little bit more of an independent role as an intern, one with some more responsibility. That way I believe I could have grown even more.
Advice
Always be open to learn something new. Don’t be afraid to work on something you have never done before. Having experience in several different areas of your work is very valuable.

Construction Administration Intern
May - August 2019 • Omaha, NE
What I liked
The internship program of E&A was very conducive to learning on the job. Interns were assigned to real projects and put in positions to succeed. It wasn’t just a summer job; several intern events were scheduled that allowed interns to network with employees from different parts of the company.
What I wish was different
I would have liked to have been given a little more responsibility to grow even more from a professional standpoint.
Advice
Never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone or make a mistake. Employees are human. Mistakes are bound to happen. Growth happens when we step out of our comfort zone and also where we learn from our mistakes and improve as professionals.
