“I believe that an internship at Millie and Severson allows young professionals to develop the necessary skills needed to succeed in the construction industry. Millie and Severson stands out from other contractors as they push you into opportunities that you may not experience at larger companies.
What I love about Millie is the team camaraderie. As an intern, I felt involved in all aspects of the construction project and felt welcomed into the project team from the very beginning. Millie has great mentors that are willing to aid in your growth if you show passion and commitment to the learning process of construction.”
Albert Haddad
Assistant Project Manager
Summer Intern 2019
“Millie and Severson differentiated itself from other general contractors by making me truly feel a part of the team. As an intern, I was working directly with the design team, subcontractors and ownership, which none of my colleagues at other GCs were doing. Millie understands as an intern you won’t know much, so they take the time to train you and ensure that you understand the world of construction.
What I appreciate is that Millie takes the time to get to know their employees and push them to be the best version of themselves - it shows that they care about your wellbeing and you’re not just a number. Millie has given me the opportunity to grow and gives me the confidence to advance my career.”

"I started at Millie and Severson as an intern in 2017 and was able to work as if I was a full-time Project Engineer - making real contributions to the project with my work. It was an invaluable experience that confirmed I wanted to return to Millie and Severson after college graduation. After returning as a full-time employee, I was soon given opportunities to manage projects that accelerated the growth of my communication skills and technical construction knowledge. I am now a Project Manager at Millie and Severson, and one of the many reasons I enjoy working here is that they provide great benefits such as 401(k) contributions, ESOP, and true work-life balance. I look forward to continuing my career at Millie and Severson."
