Construction Technology & AI Intern

Who We’re Hiring:

EMC Mechanical Services is seeking a Construction Technology and AI Intern to support our Business Analysis team for the summer of 2027! This role will support our team which builds AI tools and phone apps for people who do the work: Technicians, Foremen, and project crews. A tool only helps if people actually use it. This intern will work between the people who build these tools and the people in the field while helping crews get comfortable with our resources and find out what needs to change.

Who We Are:

EMC Mechanical Services is the top choice for Commercial HVAC and Plumbing professionals in Richmond, VA! With over a century of experience, an excellent reputation, financial stability, and a growing client base, EMC Mechanical Services is the company of choice. Servicing Richmond since 1994, EMC offers employees more than just benefits, including work-life balance, paid training, apprenticeships, wellness programs, and more. Apply now to join an organization rooted in the purpose of Installing Confidence.

What You’ll Do:

• Visit job sites and service calls to train crews on our tools and see how they’re really used.
• Collect feedback and turn it into clear, specific fixes for our team.
• Use AI tools yourself to solve small problems and build simple tools or improvements.
• Write short how-to guides that a busy technician can follow in two minutes.
• Help run one or two tool rollouts from start to finish.
• Your Summer Project: Build the playbook EMC will use every time we bring a new tool to the field. It will cover how to choose pilot users, train a crew, gather feedback and measure whether people keep using the tool. You'll test it on real rollouts and present it to leadership at the end of the summer.

Qualifications

What You’ll Bring:

• Rising junior or senior, or a recent grad, in Construction Management, Information Systems, Engineering, Business Analytics or a related field.

• Fluent English verbal and written skills are required.
• You already use AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude and like figuring out what they can do.
