Meetinghouse Facilities Department Facilities Management Intern-Hawaii (BYU-H Students only)

This internship is primarily educational in nature and is designed to provide BYU–Hawaii Facility and Construction Management students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences within the Meetinghouse Facilities Department (MFD). The internship provides students an opportunity to apply principles and practices learned through their academic studies in a professional facilities management environment.

Under general supervision, the Intern performs assigned work and gains practical exposure to core facilities management functions, including facility operations, facility assessment, capital project management, and long-term asset planning. Through these experiences, Interns develop a broader understanding of how facilities are effectively managed, maintained, and planned throughout their lifecycle.

The internship also supports the development of future facilities management talent and strengthens global partnerships by preparing students to apply their knowledge, skills, and experience in future professional assignments.
