Having grown up with the Greater Boston skyline in sight, Justin Nicolas (26) has long been fascinated by urban progress and business building. Halfway through his university studies, he is in a position to embark on a career focused on these interests.
Call this your hands-on phase.
With a specialization in Construction Management and Architecture at Keene State, Justin interned at Skanska, a 135-year-old project development and structure company active in the United States and Europe, gaining wisdom and practical experience in his chosen profession.
Justin works at the company’s Boston operations. He said that he learns and that his categories and classroom sessions prepare him well to perceive how a structured office works and manages.
“The most eye-opening thing about the internship is seeing how coordinators, owners, architects, and engineers work together as a team to complete a project safely and on time. I’m lucky to be able to work with a wonderful team. “
“I see myself as a well-known architect or administrator with a family. “
I would describe myself as a determined person because once I have a task, I have to finish it. . . I chose Keene State because of the academics it offered and because the location and expanse of the campus made me feel right at home.
