| Intern Testimonial:
“My desk was placed in the Project manager wing for the duration of my internship even though my internship was technically more focused on preconstruction and estimating. Jeff took time each day to teach me something new and get me involved in the projects that he oversees. He would take me to the job sites almost every day, so I could gain experience outside of the office and see some of Martin Horns projects. Even though he wasn’t my direct supervisor, Jeff made sure that I was included on the project manager side of each job which meant a lot to me.” |
