About the Ground Systems Construction Team
The Ground Systems Deployment and Construction team is responsible for turning bare ground into functional drone charging sites! We’re a broad, cross-functional team with skills across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and construction engineering with a mandate to deliver world-class construction execution with zero issues in the first 30 days, on-time and on-budget, using scalable, cost-optimized, and serviceable designs.
As a Construction Management Intern in Dallas-Fort Worth, you will be responsible for supporting the rolling out of our systems across multiple metros and paving the way imagining how the UAS world meets the built environment - not just for Zipline but for our customers and the industry as a whole. You will be involved in managing the entire process from site identification through permitting, approvals, and construction.
You will be working with numerous cross-functional teams such as Communications, Government Affairs, Engineering, and Operations teams to tackle all the operational and technical challenges we face head-on to get our customer’s sites operational as quickly as possible. You will have to be technically savvy, and be able to develop relationships with customers, suppliers, and contractors.
As a Construction Management Intern in Dallas-Fort Worth, you will be involved in driving all aspects of project construction to establish Zipline’s ground infrastructure in the region. This includes supporting the entire process from contractor evaluation, contracting and bid evaluation, design review in partnership with our engineering teams, through to full scope site construction management and project competition and oversight in partnership with our Service Operations and Superintendent teams. You’ll work alongside the Construction Management team and with the broader Deployment team, Real Estate and Government Affairs teams, Finance, Legal, and Engineering to build strong relationships with key stakeholders and secure the necessary approvals to expand our network.
You support management of external vendors, and ensure project timelines are met, all while maintaining alignment with Zipline’s strategic goals.
