RRK Associates, Ltd.

Commercial/Industrial Roof Consaultant Intern

May 2017 • Gurnee, IL

What I liked

My previous summer at RRK Associates, I assisted a team in charge of testing moisture content in the concrete substation roofs for ComEd. This summer RRK Associates gave me the opportunity to dive deeper into learning about what it is they inspect for on roofs. I emmersed myself in roofing terminology all summer. My goal was to learn more than I already knew about roof systems. I received the opportunity to go on multiple trips to assist my team in our markets across the country. I also was able to conduct my own quality assurance inspections for some local contracts.

What I wish was different

Honestly, I can’t find many complaints about my position this summer other than I wish there was more opportunity to travel and conduct inspections. I think it’s really important to get as much hands on experience so I can easily transition into a full time position which I’ve been offered.

Advice

Don’t oversleep when you have a flight! Also, don’t be afraid to ask for more at the dinner table, more work pays off.
