- Familiarity with OSHA 10-Hour General Industry or Construction Industry safety certification

Construction Intern Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a construction intern in Oregon?
The most direct path is enrolling in a construction management, civil engineering, or architecture program at an Oregon university such as Oregon State University or Portland State University, then applying for internships during your sophomore or junior year. Oregon does not require a state license for internship-level work, but completing an OSHA 10-Hour Construction certificate strengthens applications considerably and is frequently listed as a hiring preference by Oregon contractors.
Which companies hire construction interns in Oregon?
Companies currently hiring construction interns in Oregon include DOWL, Skanska, and Turner Construction Company, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Oregon's active commercial and infrastructure pipeline means large general contractors and specialty subcontractors across the Portland metro and the Willamette Valley maintain recurring intern programs each season.
Which Oregon cities have the most construction intern jobs?
Portland, Bend, and Eugene have the most construction intern openings in Oregon. Portland leads because of its concentration of general contractors, public infrastructure projects, and corporate headquarters, while Salem and Bend have seen sustained growth driven by public sector construction and rapid residential and commercial development drawing regional and national firms.
Are there remote construction intern jobs in Oregon?
Yes, but they're rare. Construction internships are heavily field- and site-oriented, so most roles require a physical presence. About 100% of construction intern openings tied to Oregon are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to focus on estimating, scheduling, or documentation tasks that can be completed from an office or home setup.
How can I get hired as a construction intern in Oregon with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to summer intern or co-op programs run by large Oregon general contractors like Andersen Construction or Walsh Construction, which recruit students with no prior site experience. Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity Oregon chapters builds hands-on exposure, and community college construction technology programs at places like Portland Community College offer certificates that signal readiness to employers. An OSHA 10-Hour certificate is the single credential most likely to give a first-time applicant an edge.
Where can I find and apply to construction intern jobs in Oregon?
You can find and apply to construction intern jobs in Oregon on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Oregon employers. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your program, location, and availability, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
