LA LIVE Intership Opportunity!!

Letter from JCK

The LA Live project in Downtown LA – it's a huge development that includes a 52 story hotel/condo tower, conference center, movie theaters, restaurants, clubs, bars, and retail. On the Hotel we are bringing structural steel above grade and it's starting to get pretty busy around here. Work is starting to happen 7/days a week and AEG (the developer) wants someone on site during the weekends to do a daily log of all the construction activity and man counts for all the subs. I am working for the construction manager, JCK Company and they expressed interest in hiring sharp intern with the idea that after graduation they could hire this person full-time. Personally, I think this construction project is once-in-a-lifetime and it would be a great opportunity for someone to get their foot in the door.
