Construction Management Intern - EcoCenter at Heron's Head Park

This intern position involves working closely with the LEJ project management staff on the construction of the EcoCenter at Heron's Head Park, San Francisco's first 100% off-grid building.

* Organize project archives and current work files
* Support project manager with contractual, construction, and funding deliverables
* Solicit in-kind donations from green building vendors and manufacturers
* Maintain relationships with community stakeholders

Qualifications:
* Understanding of and commitment to green building and sustainable urban development.
* Superstar organizational skills; able to handle multiple projects efficiently.
