Jack Wallace – Commercial Team Intern
This past summer at Keen was a valuable experience for me and my education. I mostly worked on the pre-con budgeting for a large project. In my past internships I worked on a jobsite and saw the construction process firsthand. At Keen I was able to see what goes into a project before it even breaks ground. Not only was this summer a good learning opportunity, but it also allowed me to expand my network in the construction world, (professionally and socially). Construction on the Tanker Wash Project should begin in the next few weeks, and while I won’t be on-site, I’ll know my work helped to make the job happen. I’ve enjoyed Keen a lot and I’m very appreciative of everyone who’s helped me learn and grow. I look forward to continuing this experience by working part-time during my final year at Iowa State.
Jocelyn Burns – Quality Assurance Intern
Working with Keen this past summer and fall has helped me learn a lot and gain a new perspective on Quality Assurance! I am a part of several project teams in several industries, and it has been great to learn so much so quickly. Keen helped me expand my knowledge of construction, starting up, commissioning, and troubleshooting equipment. I enjoyed working with people in all areas of a project cycle and building relationships that made me feel comfortable asking questions, offering ideas, and trying new things. Every day is a new, exciting experience, and I am excited to continue working with Keen!
