About the Internship:This internship is a hands on field leadership/onsite execution leadership experience. It will continue to build and develop valuable skills learned in the military and help transfer them into technical industries:Advanced Field Leadership & Cross-Functional Execution Under PressureMore specifically, this internship would rapidly develop someone in:1. Leading Without Formal Authority (the single biggest skill)• Directing electricians, install techs, and other third-party contractors.• Influencing multi-vendor, multi-discipline teams through persuasion, technical credibility, clear communication, and relationship-building rather than formal power.• This is an extremely rare and high-value skill that separates good technical people from future leaders and project directors.2. Real-time Problem Solving & Decision-Making in Ambiguous, High-Stakes Environments• Making fast decisions when schedules slip, issues pop up, or conditions change on a live construction/installation site.• Balancing safety, quality, cost, and schedule in real time.• Learning to own the consequences of those decisions (including cost and schedule impact of changes/rework).3. On-Site Technical Execution & System-Level Thinking• Hands-on validation of automation installations (adapter cells, controls, etc.).• Understanding how complex electro-mechanical systems come together in the field.• Developing a strong sense for what "commissioning-ready" actually looks like and how to minimize costly rework.4. Risk Management & Schedule Ownership• Identifying installation-driven risks early.• Driving recovery plans when things go sideways.• Managing tradeoffs between cost, quality, and speed.5. Contractor & Team Performance Management• Holding external contractors accountable for productivity and quality without being their direct boss.• Driving accountability through influence, clear expectations, and escalation when needed.Bonus long-term skills it builds:• Lessons-learned discipline — turning every site into institutional knowledge for the next one.• Cross-functional collaboration — working daily with Project Management, Engineering, Safety, and Commissioning.Who would benefit most from this role?Someone transitioning from the military who wants to move into project leadership, field operations, or installation management. After 1–2 years doing this successfully, they would be well-positioned for roles like Site Installation Manager, Commissioning Manager, or broader Project/Program Manager positions in automation, robotics, manufacturing, or construction.In short: This job teaches you how to get complex technical things built correctly, safely, and on time when you don't control most of the people doing the work — one of the hardest and most respected skills in industry.
