Never a Dull Moment: P1 Brings Robust Intern Program for 2021
It’s nice to see interns back at P1! Team leaders across the company are excited about the crop of talent working with us this summer. Corporate Trainer Sarah Garcia explained the implementation of new additions to the program this year. “Our goal is to ‘wow’ the interns this summer,” Sarah said. “We want to show them how P1 is different from other companies, while fostering experiences that help them learn about our industry. Ultimately, we hope they want to work at P1.” Sarah says Vice President Glenn Shain and some of the company’s new team leaders were instrumental in adding some valuable hands-on experiences for the interns. “The interns are going to be busy this summer,” Sarah noted. “We have scheduled multiple structured activities most weeks they are here, to give them a solid sampling of various aspects of our industry and the different opportunities for career paths.” Vice President Rusty Roderick says his goal is to provide real-world
experience for interns working with the Performance Solutions team. “My goal for our team intern is to provide an environmental experience, so he can see what it’s like to work at P1 as an engineer,” Rusty said. “Our past interns have been able to experience every aspect of being an engineering contractor, including calculations, design drawing creation, site visits, project development, and proposals.” This year’s program kicks off with the MCAKC (Mechanical Contractors Association) Industry Orientation, which gives attendees both a broad and detailed look at Mechanical Construction. New to the learning modules this year are jobsite safety audits. Since “Safety First” is the cornerstone of everything P1 does, some interns will travel to jobsites and learn from P1 Safety staff how audits are conducted. In addition, interns will learn about OSHA, Experience Modification Rates (EMRs), incident rates, and more. Another new facet of the program includes lunch-and-learns and shop tours with key P1 vendors.
