Construction Project Management INTERN

Come build community, explore your passions and do your best work at Microsoft. This opportunity will allow you to bring your aspirations, talent, potential and excitement for the journey ahead.

The AMERS EPC construction team delivers the critical infrastructure that powers our cloud services, including new data center campuses, expansions, and upgrades across the Americas. As a Construction Project Management Intern in Querétaro, you will support the project team through planning and field execution of new data center construction, helping coordinate stakeholders and track schedule, cost, safety, and quality to contribute to the successful delivery of safe, reliable data center capacity. You will contribute to all construction priorities, including safety (e.g., leading and driving a safety culture), compliance (e.g., MS Policy/SOX, OLC/Anti-Bribery Anti-Corruption), quality, schedule and cost (e.g., financial accountability), and help create detailed scope of work documentation and troubleshoot issues to avoid delays or escalations.

Working alongside the project team in a role similar to an entry-level project engineer, you may review drawings and submittals, track requests for information (RFIs) and action items, document field progress, and coordinate with contractors, designers, and internal stakeholders. You may also help maintain schedules, cost and change logs, safety and quality documentation, meeting minutes, and project status reports, gaining exposure to preconstruction, active construction, commissioning, and the transition to operation.

At Microsoft, Interns work on real-world projects in collaboration with teams across the world, while having fun along the way. You’ll be empowered to build community, explore your passions and achieve your goals. This is your chance to bring your solutions and ideas to life while working on cutting-edge technology.
