Where Internships Become Careers

CARTER PARKEY
Project Manager

“I was very fortunate to be able to intern at R.C. Mathews for three summers prior to joining the team full-time. I really appreciated that R.C. Mathews allowed me to spend time both in the office and the field, exposing me to all aspects of a project. From estimating, scheduling, and BIM coordination in the office to safety meetings, concrete pours, and layout in the field, my summers spent with R.C. Mathews helped to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application, ultimately setting me up for success in my current role.”

MOLLY DORTCH
Assistant Project Manager

“During my internship with R.C. Mathews, I was able to see many different areas of the construction industry. From preconstruction and pricing to jobsite meetings and subcontractor management, I was able to gain real-life experience on everything that I learned about in my college classes. Every one of my colleagues demonstrated inspiring integrity in their work and the way they navigated relationships within the company and industry. Their dedication to their projects, company, and community made me excited to join a team that shows genuine passion for what they do.”

TANNER GOODMAN
Field Engineer

“I had the opportunity to intern with R.C. Mathews for two summers during college, where I was able to contribute to projects like The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts and Hewlett Hall (formerly known as Caldwell Hall) at Belmont University. During my final semester, I continued part-time as a carpenter/laborer, which gave me even more hands-on experience in the field. Through that time, I learned everything from punch lists and scheduling to subcontractor coordination, inspections, and rough carpentry. Those experiences made the transition to my full-time role as a Field Engineer after graduation feel seamless, and it prepared me to take on real responsibility from day one.”
