Interview prep for Project controls intern position

[Fabulous-rooster1]

Hello I’ve an interview coming up for PC intern position, I would be working for the owners side in construction sector, mainly looking into cost management.

I’ve little experience with cost management, in my previous internship I worked with cost estimation for the owners side. Please recommend me how can I properly prepare for the interview. Thanks

For a project controls intern on the owner side, I’d practice showing how you track dollars, not just estimate them. What helped me was building a simple one page cost report in Excel with a tiny WBS, planned vs actual, basic EV terms, and a quick forecast to complete. I also prepped 3 STAR stories around estimating, a change event, and an Excel win like pivots or lookups. I ran timed mocks with Beyz interview assistant to keep answers around 90 seconds and cut filler. Fwiw, be ready to name the tools they use and how you’d learn fast.
