Power that runs the world | Discover careers in Operations
Operations roles at Amazon put you at the center of how things move from a click to a doorstep. You'll help design, improve, and run systems that connect people, products, and places at scale.
You'll take ownership early, work closely with teams to solve real-world challenges, and see the direct results of your decisions as they reach customers every day. Here, the impact of what you build isn't abstract, it's visible, immediate, and meaningful - keeping one of the world's most complex operations moving forward. This is where your journey takes shape through action, responsibility, and the opportunity to grow in many directions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This role is based out of Amazon's Bellevue, WA corporate office (SEA104). Applicants must be able to work on-site at our Bellevue, WA office during the spring semester and be available for travel during summer months. During summer months, travel to Amazon fulfillment centers under construction and corporate offices around the US is required.
The Construction Manager (CM) Internship is an on-site part-time internship (20 hours a week) during the Spring 2027 academic season (February 2027 – May/June 2027) based in our Bellevue, WA corporate office.
Upon school release for Summer 2027 (May/June 2027 – July/August 2027), this position shifts to a 12-week internship “full-time” (40 hours/week) with travel opportunities to project sites and Amazon facilities across the United States.
This is a hybrid corporate and field position, combining strategic construction management work in our corporate office environment with hands-on exposure to large-scale industrial building projects at fulfillment centers, construction sites, and job trailer environments.
Amazon’s Global Engineering Services (GES) NA Design & Construction team is looking for innovative and solutions-oriented interns to support our construction management function. Construction Manager interns will support Construction programs to deliver the built facilities and infrastructure that power Amazon’s logistics network — including fulfillment centers, sortation centers, delivery stations, and auxiliary buildings — through new builds, retrofits, initiatives, and expansions.
In this role, interns work under the guidance and direction of senior Construction Managers, owning specific workstreams and deliverables within larger projects. You will coordinate with general contractors, subcontractors, and internal teams to ensure project documentation is current, schedules are tracked, budgets are monitored, and stakeholder communications are maintained. You will serve as a key liaison between field teams and project leadership — ensuring information flows accurately and action items are resolved.
This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on exposure to large-scale industrial construction projects while developing your construction management expertise through hands-on project execution, mentorship from senior CMs, and exposure to the full construction lifecycle.

Search Construction Superintendent Jobs in WashingtonConstruction Superintendent Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for construction superintendents in Washington?
Large general contractors with active Washington project portfolios are the most consistent sponsors. Skanska, Turner Construction, Hensel Phelps, Mortenson, and Lease Crutcher Lewis have all filed H-1B visa or EB-3 petitions for construction management roles in the state. Specialty contractors supporting Sound Transit, port expansion, and data center builds in the greater Seattle area also hire internationally for superintendent-level positions.
Which visa types are most common for construction superintendent roles in Washington?
The H-1B is the most common visa for construction superintendents in Washington when the role is framed as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field. EB-3 immigrant visas are used for permanent sponsorship pathways. Some candidates with Canadian or Mexican citizenship may qualify for TN visa status under the engineer or scientist categories, depending on their specific credentials and job duties.
Which cities in Washington have the most construction superintendent sponsorship jobs?
Seattle accounts for the largest share of sponsored construction superintendent roles in Washington, driven by commercial high-rise, transit, and mixed-use development activity. Bellevue and Redmond see strong demand tied to tech-campus construction for employers like Microsoft and Amazon. Tacoma and Olympia have smaller but active markets tied to public infrastructure and healthcare facility projects across the south Puget Sound region.
How to find construction superintendent visa sponsorship jobs in Washington?
Migrate Mate filters construction superintendent roles specifically by visa sponsorship status, so you can browse Washington openings without sorting through positions that won't support international candidates. Because sponsorship availability changes as projects start and close, checking Migrate Mate regularly gives you an accurate picture of which contractors in Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma are actively hiring and willing to sponsor at the superintendent level.
Are there any Washington-specific considerations for construction superintendent visa sponsorship?
Washington's Department of Labor and Industries requires contractors to meet state prevailing wage standards on public works projects, which directly affects the wage an employer must certify on an H-1B Labor Condition Application. Projects tied to Sound Transit, WSDOT, or other public agencies fall under these rules. Employers familiar with Washington's prevailing wage system are generally better positioned to complete sponsorship paperwork accurately and on schedule.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored construction superintendent jobs in Washington?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
