Samantha, Assistant Project Manager

I started my internship at Largo in San Diego in the summer of 2018 during my senior year. I worked on the UCSD North Torrey Pines project, performing doing preconstruction work alongside a project manager, superintendent, and two general foremen. I primarily worked on plan organization, submittals, RFIs, and subcontractor/ material purchase order analyses. Everyone was very helpful in responding to all my questions about concrete construction, and by working with such experienced individuals I was able to learn about different formwork systems, pour/crew sequencing, concrete mix designs, and so much more all in one summer. I fortunately had another opportunity to intern during my last quarter of my senior year on projects at UCSB and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I was able to perform some onsite project engineer tasks with another great team. After graduation, I returned to San Diego as a full-time project engineer. It felt like I was coming home, especially since I had already formed great working relationships while I was an intern. Over the past two years, I was able to learn so much more while working on a variety of project engineer and project manager tasks as a project engineer on the San Diego Symphony and Scripps Parking Structure projects, working on both projects from start to finish. I am now working on the Courthouse Commons project as an assistant project manager and although my title has changed and my responsibilities have increased, every day I find myself using the same skills I learned from my very first internship at Largo.
