Are you a student or recent graduate looking for your next step? You've come to the right place.
As a full-service general contractor, we don’t just build — we focus on the entire project lifecycle from beginning to end. Based in Rockville, Maryland with a satellite office in Philadelphia, we build nearly $1B of construction annually in markets ranging from office buildings and multi-family residential to healthcare and education. And it’s all in the Mid-Atlantic region, a pretty exciting place to be if you ask us!
From completing the biggest building move in DC history, to building the largest parking garage east of the Mississippi, we've led many of the most complex construction projects in the Mid-Atlantic region. We take a holistic view of the entire project and offer the best mix of experience, expertise, and technical savvy. Take a look at what we've been up to lately!
TJ Generette, current Project Engineer University of Maryland 2022 | DAVIS Intern 2020, 2021I began my journey with DAVIS as an intern in 2020 and again in 2021, then became full-time with the same project team after graduation. From my first internship at DAVIS, I realized construction was the industry where I wanted to be. It's a field where you can learn something valuable from everyone around you and build your pool of knowledge.
Kayla Bonish, Project Manager Virginia Tech 2019 | DAVIS Intern 2018, 2019As the youngest founding member of NAWIC NOVA, I was excited to continue developing my leadership and networking skills. DAVIS was our biggest supporter throughout the chapter chartering process, and it all stems from an amazing culture. DAVIS really supports me in my professional development — through industry events, memberships, and even sponsoring the NAWIC conference!
Josh Pierrelus, Project Superintendent Morgan State 2020 | DAVIS Intern 2019During my internship, the work environment made it an easy decision to want to come back full-time. The "always willing to help" attitude that everyone has at DAVIS inspired me to give back and assist with recruitment efforts at career fairs, including at my alma mater. Ever since I connected with HR about the opportunity, it's been game on to help.
Joe Salzano, Superintendent Catholic University 2017 | DAVIS Intern 2016I've held a few different roles at DAVIS now, but one thing remains the same: there is always an opportunity to learn. As a Superintendent, I really get to grow as a leader on site. I've always been in the Office Buildings group, but have gotten to experience several market sectors through various projects. My advice for young professionals: ask questions and learn everything you can from DAVIS peers, clients, and trade partners. That's how you gain the resources to be successful.
Cason Atkinson, Assistant Project Manager Click the above link to hear more from Cason in his DAVIS Innovator Spotlight!I graduated from Alabama in 2021 with a degree in Construction Engineering, so always knew I wanted to work in this industry. When I joined DAVIS, I learned that "Success for All" is something we talk about a lot as a company. I quickly immersed myself in that mindset by always looking for solutions, even before a question or problem arises. We make things work by working with people, and that's how we build success for all.
At DAVIS, we embrace change because we're always working to better ourselves and our communities. Through our efforts in DE+I, innovation, community outreach, and sustainability, we create a stronger tomorrow for our employees, clients, and trade partners.
A vital virtual construction element, drones (UAVs) are now key components on our job sites. However, the Washington, DC region has the most restrictive airspace in the country, according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. Explore the invaluable benefits and understand the challenges that come with using drones in construction.
Wood building is in the middle of a huge comeback, and by delivering the first mass timber commercial office project in DC, we’re making our impact known. Mass timber’s popularity has rapidly expanded in the last few years as the industry seeks out sustainable and cost-efficient alternatives to building with steel and concrete.
President and CEO Jim Davis challenged our project team to push the boundaries of sustainable construction at our Reston Row project in Virginia, so we took that task head-on. CarbonCure Concrete — which uses the process of carbon capture — will capture over 5 million pounds of CO2 generated by construction at Reston Row and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere.
At DAVIS, it's more than an internship. It's an experience.
