Project Intern

Overview

B&D's internship opportunities give students and recent graduates real world experience and exposure to one of the nation's premier Real Estate Advisory Firms and ENR's Top 50 Program Management Firms. This is a hybrid in-office / remote internship opportunity based out of our Atlanta, GA office.

The B&D team is comprised of ambitious, diverse, multidisciplinary, and entrepreneurial professionals; but what ties B&D employees together is our excitement and passion for advising our college, university or municipal clients on how to best position their assets to derive maximum benefit for the organization. Whether interviewing students on a college campus, touring classrooms in an elementary school, or sitting with fans on a stadium’s opening day, we are driven by our purpose to advance communities. It starts with our own B&D community; it starts with you.

We are searching for thinker-doers who are intellectually curious, self-motivated, and willing to take risks to advance their own professional development. As a member of the firm, you should be prepared to work directly with leaders in the industry, on highly visible projects, in a fast-paced environment. Each role contributes to the team’s ability to execute strategic planning, market analyses, financial modeling, and an implementation plan to deliver outcomes-based results. Your work will directly enable our clients' actions to better provide for an organization’s key stakeholders—something we find to be meaningful and invigorating, and that we hope inspires you as well!

Reporting to an associate, the intern will play a dynamic role on the project team by focusing on research, data analytics and synthesis for client engagements while supporting overall project management activities.

All B&D internships have the potential to convert to full-time positions.
