Diversity + Belonging

We value the unique skills, perspectives and ideas each person brings to the table. By bringing together people from different backgrounds in a welcoming and collaborative environment, we’re able to spark innovation and tackle today’s challenges more effectively. We embrace a diversity of people, thoughts and ideas in an atmosphere of trust, belonging and fun.

My experience provided hands-on learning and it taught me the importance of building relationships with team members and trade partners. I also gained leadership skills and confidence when encouraged to step out of my comfort zone.

At Rockford, We’re Building a Better World

For nearly 40 years, Rockford has been a trusted partner to thousands of clients across the U.S. With construction management, real estate development and property management services all under one roof, we view space from every angle. We think like owners, build with precision and operate to achieve long-term value — always focused on doing great work and delivering quality every step of the way.

Rockford’s internship program gives students hands-on experience while introducing them to different building types and project delivery methods.

Interns work on real jobs across the many markets we serve from schools and hospitals to high rises and hotels, retail and industrial spaces. Students also receive valuable training, are assigned daily responsibilities and have opportunities to connect through volunteering and company-wide networking events. In addition to construction management, we also offer internships in other areas like architectural design, IT, accounting and more.
