Project Management Intern
Austin, Texas, United States
I spent 6 months interning at Giga Factory Texas in Austin, Tx working under some of the top engineers and project managers in the country. Aside from shadowing full time employees I personally acted as lead project manager for 20 construction scopes aimed at pushing car manufacturing forward as a member of the company's Self Perform Team. My responsibilities included managing schedule and budget in addition to field coordination and progress tracking. At Tesla, even as an intern, I was quickly thrust into a position of high responsibility allowing myself to provide tangible value to our output of vehicles. This experience did not only drastically improve my technical knowledge of mechanical systems but also refined my communication skills as a project manager and showed me the importance of developing strong relationships with colleagues at all levels/positions.
