What began as one of Southern California's original lath and plaster companies has grown into one of the wall and ceiling industry's leading full service, design-assist, specialty finish and theming contractors that continuously receives acclaim for its projects, safety focus, and employee-oriented culture. We started with lath and plaster work. We added drywall. Today, we use some of the most advanced technologies to help model, plan, and design projects throughout the Western U.S.

Come join our team and be mentored by top professionals at The Raymond Group (an award-winning full service, design-assist, specialty finish and theming contractor) while working alongside world-class industry experts in this 10-week structured paid summer internship program which will run from the end of May to approximately mid-August 2026.

The program will expose a participant to various areas of Raymond's operations allowing an individual to gain tactical, real-world construction experience. Individuals selected for the program will spend time supporting various business units in the company including project management, field operations, estimating, engineering, safety, and/or accounting.

Individuals selected for the program will work directly with a project team and have a mentor personally assigned who will act as a coach, provide regular constructive feedback, and be available to answer any questions. We provide comprehensive technical and on-the-job training.
